Top Jin is a liquid cut paste and not lime sulfur. There is product called Jin Seal which is lime sulfur. You can usually get that at bonsai shops in person and online.
But you can also find other products out there too. See this post from a few years ago.

I’m a chemist. I looked up the method to make lime sulfer… it is on utube…don’t bother… it’s dangerous.
.
Buy for bonsai and dilute, or the pet bathing bottle and dilute to 1:10 to paint jin.
Not shure on spray dilution. My guess… is about (10-20 millileters per Liter) of water… Read label for pet bath range.
.
There IS a premixed ROSE sulfer spray available that would work, if you only have a dozen trees.
.
I still have a 30 yo bottle of sulfer Apple spray. Need to restock soon… l do not use it every winter. Nor oil dormant spray. This summer was the first time I have had a lot of bugs. Several types of Aphids.

I can’t find lime-sulfur in Serbia, can somebody write down the concentration of “regular bonsai” bottle so I can try to dilute that from pet shop?

we are not really asking the most dangerous practitioner to “cook something up”, do we?
