Interesting.  It'll be good to see another measurement.
Anyone else have measurments of Gugolz 55's fall rate?

Working by hand, gently, and making sure I have good contact, I 
haven't had roughness problems with warmed (and then well-pressed) 
laps.  For me, the roughness problems come when I have a hard lap that 
won't change shape.  That happens if I work with the lap too long, and 
it cools off.

Unfortunately?!?!
