Goofed WC?

I am setting up for a WC before my trip to Hawaii. As usual I have my 12 gallon tub full of RODI and salt mixing and heating. I decided to do something a little different this time and added my two parts of Continuum (a & b) to the mix. Only after doing it did I think about the fact I added enough for the 90 gallons and MUCH more than the 12 gallons could handle. So, my new water is as cloudy as milk!

Should I start over and not add the Continuum to the mix or would this batch be okay for a WC? Its been mixing/heating for 18 hours and making a new batch will take another day.
 
I'd make a new batch.

Also if you want to start something new in your tank (like adding things to your water) it's a better idea to do it when you're going to be around to monitor what happens. Just in case.
 
most 2 part systems i'm familiar with you don't add the 2 parts together. The calcium part (usually A) will react with the carbonate part and precipitate out in the tank.
 
correct!

As for the other part to your answer, I do not know if the "precipitate" will just dissolve when in the tank. I'm sure it would and there not be any neg effects.
