Do you dissolve the tablets in water or saline solution? If I recall from using them in the past, the instructions said to use saline.
Ok thanks TiF, I'll do that!
Naw - each to his own. We're doing this for science, Bing. :vulcan:
So I was intrigued with the suggestion by @Roman Collector to use an enzymatic solution, but evidently those things aren't as common as they used...
