I put together the following table that shows how to keep diluting the solution rather than try to measure 2% of 10ml. http://sdrv.ms/SyCTw3

I have another document which I must have retrieved some time ago, it's called "Easy Mixing & Setup for Carbon-6" and is dated 8-10-2010. It lists mixing ratios for six positions but only requires three different dilutions. But now I can't find that document on Paul's site so I wonder if that approach is no longer recommended.

I come from a darkroom background, so I found this easy to do. I already had Photo-Flo and Edwal LFN on hand, as well as distilled water. Got some 99% glycerol (sp?) at the local CVS.
