    No, either of the polyquat's I've posted links for is 60% polyquat; just get whichever one is currently cheapest on Amazon. I just checked, and the Kem-Tek product is still cheapest. If you order 2, they should ship free, and polyquat doesn't seem to go bad. I had a 55 gallon drum purchased from Buckman (the mfg of the raw material) that I used for 4 years!

    Hooray, it is ordered! Should be here toward the end of the week.

    Now I printed out all your instructions and lost the papers somewhere around here. Hope to get started soon. Thanks so much for all the help. Please if you have time, give me any more helpful hints along the way.
