just used it today for the first time on a discharge job of 30 pieces, no problems on press, but it broke down immediately at washout.  Probably wouldn't have lasted many more prints.  I exposed it for 500 light units on my 3140.  I want it to work, need to try again.

Wow... We have done exposure test (two) and we were probably less than half that on our 3140... That is with a pretty thick coat, I'll have to check notes.

Seemed solid, but we didn't run any prints.

After reading all that praise in another thread, we'll give it a whirl.  Provided it makes the journey with freezing/thawing that is.
