I thought Eboni didn't like to be diluted. 

This aside, what are you doing that is different than just diluting MK
with something like MIS "clear base" and loading it into a cart for
the LK position?

I'm currently loading one postion with full strength Eboni, one with
full strength PKN, 4 with different dilutions of PKN, and one with
glop. The results are quite interesting...
