I am going to use 600ml of water, but I can't figurer out how much karo I would need to add.
I know I want 5% karo, but how much is that in ml? That would be 30ml, right?

30ml isn't it? 10% would be 60ml of 600ml of water, so i would assume half of 10% is 5%, which 10% being 60ml divide that by two and you get 30ml, which would be 5%...
or something like that.
shorthand version: 30ml of karo to 600ml of h2o
my scientific method: LC tek

I personally don't like 5%.
I would use 2-4% myself if I were you. I'd actually throw in a bit of sugar in the raw too.
So for your 600ml jar, I would add:
Just Karo: 12ml-24ml (2.5-5 teaspoons) Karo + Sugar in the Raw: 10ml (2 tsp.) Karo, 1 teaspoon Sugar in the Raw.
1 teaspoon = 4.92892161 milliliters
so basically 5ml = 1 teaspoon.

I like the karo + sure Idea , have you used it with success before?
If I go with 3-4% karo, how much raw sugar should I add?

yeah monstermitch knows what he's talking about, adding sugar in the raw is a good boost.
I use Karo and Malt Syrup, the kind used for milkshapes. Real Malt.

yes, I've used karo and sugar in the raw together successfully dozens of times before.
when I make my own LC, I use a little of four different things:
Karo (light corn syrup) Sugar in the Raw (turbinado sugar) Ligt Dry Malt Dextrose (corn sugar)
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/7492975/an/0/page/0 http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/7492940/an/0/page/0 ^^this is not done yet at all. but you get the idea...
So for your case, I would NOT add 3-4% Karo. the total you want is 3-4%, not 3-4% of each. more is not better. less is better. in my own opinion that is...
So I would add 2 teaspoons of Karo (10ml) per jar and 1-2 teaspoons of Sugar in the Raw (turbinado) (5-10ml) per jar.

I like 5% corn syrup, but would very much like to try a malt. Maybe 2-3% malt and 2-3% corn syrup? Would light dry malt extract, as used in beer brewing, be good to use?

5% of 600ml is
.05 X 600ml = 30ml .04 X 600ml = 24ml .03 X 600ml = 18ml
remember this simple useful formula
