Yes it can be dissolved in a carrier so i assume it will disslove in penetrate, as for how much i am not sure about that, you will have to test it your self by trial and error, but i would think that it could hold at least 5 grams prolly more, but start with 5 grams make sure it stays in the carrier then just add like half a gram at a time untill you get to where it wont stay in the carrier anymore then your will know for sure next time.
