I too have yet to find a hard consensus, except that "too much doesn't hurt." I usually err in that direction.
In this case, there was way too much OA in this tiny little tray of water when I started. Two days on appears to show very little evidence of OA crystals. I assume they dissolved - emphasis on the
"assume" part. Don't have time tonight to do a mix to find out if it's still enough to remove the remaining stains off the Moulton.

Not a bad idea, though with exception to that one rag that seemed to dry out, the rest remained suitably wet two hours later. I think it
might have been the one towel I had folded twice instead of three times over.

I know. The cleaner it gets, the less visible the Huffy sticker gets. It's like the Polaroid in

I think I have two tablespoons to half a cup here
