You're talking about the "we don't do solids / pinecone tests / silver screens etc." era? I think I mainly missed out on that.... You've pretty much been in on the stuff that we've accomplished with silver screens and solids; the output from Pierce's tank sparger (out at the ranch in the last month or two) will react with pinecones in an impressively flare-like manner - we think it's about 80-82% (starting from OTC 50% tech grade from Solvay); it's probably at least as good as the old German "T-stuff" - similar in potency, and most likely no worse as far as stabilizers are concerned. (What _were_ the other things that ERPS "didn't" do?) -dave w _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
