This even though the viscosity was OK?  That must be a very effective 
surfactant.  

The Dow product I used seems to be used in lots of cleaning products.

I'll keep it in mind.  Simple Green is definitely easier for most to 
obtain.

Frankly, my incentives to do this work vary with my views as to 
whether MIS is going to make what I want.  Regardless of MIS's 
actions, I do think there should be an open source approach.  On the 
other hand, I don't want to discourage MIS and others in the business 
of making these products from doing so and successfully competing 
with the big guys.  I also think the vast majority of people are 
going to be more comfortable using a product that a reputable company 
produces and stands behind.
