That did it for me.

However, I think that I may go back to the Muck. I like the idea of heat reversability. The Masonite gound isn't pH neutral anyway, do I'm not sure if I am operating on overkill or not.
Chris,
I read somewhere recently a fellow talked to the Muck people and they said the heat reversability was temporary in that after a certain period of time (less than a year if I remember it accurately) it was no longer reversable with heat. I did not pay further attention as at that point I decided against Muck. However, since It was read quickly in passing I may be mistaken. It would probably be a good idea to inquire about this before ordering a bunch of it (in case I do indeed have the correct information).

Thanks for the glue lead.
