Sorry, I'm not that scientific. I would guess about 50/50, maybe less. If you're unsure just mix it weak and you can always add acid.

I meant once it's been used, obviously you can store vinegar.

I was referring to the fact that with an acid bath you can leave the tub on your workbench (preferably covered) and use it over and over and over again for quite a long time and you can not do that with vinegar.
