Mark: Good to hear that you are having success with a method that is
not supposed to work!*G*

In situations that you mention, I just occasionally turn the bowl over
to recoat it with the solution. Of course, I have a covered "vat" to
preclude/slow down evaporation from the solution. If you are having
luck with a 3:1 ratio, go for it. I recommend 1:1. As to a way to
determine if you have the correct ratio, I started off with a fresh
solution of 1:1 and measured the specific gravity. I found that over
time, the solution lightened closer to the specific gravity of plain
tap water (.999 @ 60F). IMHO, there seems to be a loss of LDD when
that occurs, so I add more LDD.I still have the vat I started and
ended with 2 plus years ago. After a bit of time, I stopped measuring
the SG and just eyeballed the level of the solution and topped it up
with LDD -- not water!!

Thanks Leif for your comments but i was just wondering what you meant when you said "I started and ended with 2 plus years ago". Does this mean you have another storage method or that you've lost the faith and moved onto another method of making green wood useable?
