Use As:
Work Order: Use this when you have a total target that you want to count down to and complete when that target is reached.
Reusable Mix: Use this when you have a mix that you aren't sure how many times you will need to use it.
Use Totals: Use this when you want to create a ratio mix or when you know the total amount of each product you want in the Mix
Use Rates: MOST COMMON - you know the application rate of each product and want adjustability at the time of mixing
