Hi Roger:

We use 73 Gugloz at work, doing plano stuff, in an airconditioned
polishing room.  But I find it way to hard for working 
healthy parabolas. Great for generating spheres...

64 pitch flows VERY easily, especially in a non airconditioned
situation which is usually the case in our kitchen, where I am 
currently figuring.  I've tried to find a happy medium, some where
between 2 parts 64/1 part 73, and 1 to 1 ratio.

Thats in the moderate, but still warm sometimes, San Francisco Bay area.
