Hi = Tracy,

Interesting to hear you say this, because I had = almost=20 decided to do the same thing, purely because I can't find a consensus of = whether=20 TCW-3 or MMO was better. I think it may well be the case that = each=20 has some advantages. By mixing like this, you're using the MMO at = nearly=20 the concentration they recommend, and making up the rest of the = 1oz/gal=20 with TCW-3.

I have to=20 ask though, are you mixing these because you feel like the mixture=20 (solution, whatever <g>) performs better, or because you = like=20 MMO, but realize TCW-3 is cheaper. In other words, if cost were no = factor,=20 would you just run straight = MMO?

Thanks,
