I have Kent Marine Concentrated Iodine and I was trying to find out what ratio I need to use for an Iodine dip. the LFS doesn't have Lugol's and the search function has been down all day for me. Thanks. Also, can I dip a toadstool leather in Iodine? TIA

I would also like to know the best methods and concentrations for dipping

I've never dipped a coral, so I don't have any special advice along those lines.

According to Kent's web site, they sell 3 types of iodine. Two are unsuitable for dips:

Kent Marine Super Iodine Supplement

and

They also sell Lugol's, which is what many people use for dips:

I don't see the exact name that you referred to mentioned.

I think Kent changed the name of the "concentrated iodine" to "super iodine supplement".
