Hi, I have no chemical knowledge at all but I need to dilute
N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET C12H17NO CASnumber 134-62-3) in a proportion
of 30%. I was thinking of water but on the technical datasheet I discover
that it is not soluble in water.
I don't need a perfectly homogenous liquid as long as I can shake it before
usage and apply it with a spray nozzle.

Purpose is to use it on skin (human & animal), which requires a safe and
less oily possible solution, but as the usage quantity and frequency will be
high, I need a cheap product.

Thanks for any suggestion.
Philippe.
