Re: xtol wrecked my HIE!

[Robert Jander <rjander@xxxxx>]

Jaap,

Thanks very much for your advice.
Well, I did just what was written in the data sheet. I WAS prepared for some
fine-tuning but not that much.
I'll take your advice (XTOL 1:1 for 12 minutes) and sacrifice another of my so
precious rolls.

Regards
