I'm not so sure about that, Mike. Talking to some OOF's down here one
of them use to live out west. They use to use some long-haired formula
that didn't actually measure the glazing, but rather did a before and
after "efficiency-equation". He further stated that 86.9% wasn't really
all that unreal. Down here in the south we don't have to deal
with the glaze....with all this humidity that we have we have to suffer
through mushy, soggy wire....really ain't much you can do with it but
wait for some good DRY weather and let it dry naturally.
