Spray tan solution help please

HI
I have a client next week who requires a darker tan and i only stock 5,8 and 10 at the moment. I am going to get some booster drops in but if i mix up some solution can i leave it in the cup with lid on and use again and how long for? I was also going to use the booster drops to make half of my 5 into 8 as i dont use the 5 so can i add this mix into the 8 i have in the bottle or should it be kept separate?
My other question is, when would you order new solution? I have about 3/4 of my 8 and a bit less than 3/4 in my 10 but wondering whether i may need some more 10 as i am going to have to mix at least 150ml for darker shade next week. Im trying to keep costs low because ive just had such a big outlay on setting up only a few weeks ago. Do you think i should have extra 10 for mixing?

You can if you put the cup away in a cool dark cupboard so no light or heat can get to it and where the temperature does not change a lot, it should be good for 6 to 12 months.

NO don't ever mix your solution like that, they will be unusable, mix your 5% up with the booster drops and keep it separate.

only you can answer this really as you know how busy you are and how much you use per tan,
if you want to keep your costs low order the tandare solution from tantrick as this is a lot cheaper and works very well with the booster drops,
it comes in 8% and 10%, hth :hug:

i have just reread your post, why do you need to mix up 150ml for 1 tan,
you can mix up just 50ml,
add 1 booster drop will make 50ml of 10% into 12%
add 2 booster drops will make 50ml of 10% into 14%

i dont think my gun would pick it up if it was less than 100ml mixed up.I have done tans with only 100ml in my cup and its picked it all up fine. Decided to only order the booster drops and mix up 100ml into 12 or 14 depending on what my client next week wants.
SO that i dont waste the 60or70ml thats left over after the tan can i keep adding to that mix to make it more so my gun picks it up? for example mix some more in another cup and add to the mix i already had?
I had thought about getting tandare but had heard it didnt last as long so didnt get any. My clients say they get 5-7 days from tantrick and i wouldnt want them to get less than that xx
