Based solely on the two molecular weights CD-3 (436.52) and CD-4 (292.34) you should use 2/3 the given amount rather than half. Now, CD-3 might be faster acting accounting for the difference in amounts. You would have to do some testing.

I've found it impossible in the last few months to get CD-3. Only CD-4 seems to be available. Some advice given to me was to substitute CD-4 in CD-3 recipes using half quantity. Does anyone have anything more substansive? Thanks.
