Everclear Instead of Isopropyl Alcohol?

So either I seriously, seriously lost my 91% iso in some freak unexplainable actions or someone stole it, but anyway I got ahold of some 50% iso and I have some everclear. I poured a ratio of about 3:1 of 50% iso to everclear. Will this work for my sanitizing purposes (mushroom growing)? It's not easy to find iso right now because sheeple are buying it all. The ratio I did was 1/4 everclear and 3/4 iso. I feel like it would work simply because everclear is 95% alcohol but I'm sure it has sugars and other stuff in it so not sure if causes stickiness or undesirable residue. Thanks.

Everclear works. You want it diluted to around 70% alcohol. I'm not great with math so I can't tell you exactly how much of what you need or if the way you mixed it is close enough. I need a hydrometer to figure out alcohol lmao. Hold on though I'll find you a link.
Here ya go this thread erd page has some good info. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26535162/page/1/fpart/3/vc/1#26535162

Thank you for the reply I figured it out pretty easily. In an 8oz bottle I put 6oz everclear in which is 5.7oz alc and 0.3oz H2O. Then I add 2oz water to dilute and it approximates at 71.25% alcohol content. As 5.7/8 is 0.7125.

Are you considering the alcohol percentage of the everclear? There are a few types and none is 100%

For dilution use M1V1=M2V2
For 95% everclear:
M1=95% V1= 500ml lets say M2=70% V2=?
(95)(500)=(70)(?)
(95)(500) = ? (70)
?= 678.6
So you need to add enough distilled water to bring the TOTAL VOLUME of your solution to 678 or so mL
If you start with 500mL of 95% alcohol then you add 178mL distilled water to make it equal to 70% alcohol
