Topical Finasteride Mix Ratio?

I just got some 1mg Finpecia and want to make a topical with my Minoxidil.  Looking through the threads, I see a variety of suggestions about how much is needed. 
Is there a definitive answer as to how much I should add?
Will it actually fully dissolve?  I mean if the answer is like 15 tablets or so?
If there is no concensus as to how much to add, anyone doing it that can suggest a mix?

I should point out that I took it orally about 6 years ago with disasterous results.  7 straight months of ever increasing heavy shedding.  When I quit, it got EVEN WORSE for about 3 months, and then dropped to a more normal rate.  Anyone think it'll cause me to shed again using it topically?

Thanks!

Re:

What exactly would this translate to?  How many 1mg pills need to be added to 50ml of Minoxidil?

Anyone have any help here?

 		0,25% means that for every 100ml you need 250mg of finasteride . That will be 25 tabs of Proscar .

 		Thanks for the math guys, but somehow I don't think that 125 Fincar (or 25 Proscar) pills will dissolve in a bottle of Minoxidil. Anyone tried it?

So am I wasting my time if say, I can only get 10 1mg pills to dissolve?

Hey Mark - the general consensus (from this and otrher other forums)  is that 4 - 6 proscar tabs per 1 bottle of minoxidil will do the trick.

That you sir, that was what I was looking for.  I'll try to dissolve 20 Finpecia tablets.  If it works, I'll let you all know.
