An alert member caught a typo on my link for mixing oxalic dribble.
"Wood bleach is 71% pure oxalic. Your link says to reduce the amount of
oxalic in syrup by 7/10ths (70%) if you are using pure oxalic, instead of
wood bleach. Don't you mean to say reduce by 30% if you are using pure
oxalic?  Or is my math wrong?"

Your math was correct, I've reworded my error:
you must reduce the amount of acid to only 7/10ths of that of the dihydrate

I always appreciate having any of my errors pointed out.
