Try diluting the acid by 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16 until you can get an
accurate reading. Then multiply the reading by the dilution factor to get
your%. By the way, pour the acid into the water, not water into the acid.
If you pour water into the acid it might heat up hot enough to erupt out of
your container onto you. NOT NICE.
