I used a base made of 50% Glop and 50% old clear base, and the mix took care
of most of the bronzing that plagues the old base.  I would say this might
be a good way for people to dilute the LC, for example, to the 50% LC I use
in my new 7500 approach. I think the new base has some ammonia in it to help
prevent clogs.  In experimenting, about 1 - 1.5% ammonia (from Ace hardware)
seems to give about the same degree of ammonia smell that is in the new
inks.
