If you are using a proprietary product, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
If you are using a home brew, .25 - .50 oz/gal. Run it at 190 F minimum and for 30 minutes minimum . Run some test panels to confirm it will meet your customer's requirements.

Florida water will not seal. If you need to pass the ASTM seal test, then you must deionize the water before you add the above mentioned nickel acetate.
