    What I see happening is that we are all struggling with the
    different (not bad) qualities of this alloy and are all anxious as
    hell to get it right because of the properties it will yield once
    mastered. Yes, frustration is occurring - habits die hard, but be
    patient with us and we will try to be patient with new materials and
    learning how to use them to their best advantage. I think it's a good
    thing and like any other new thing you take a few steps backwards
    before going forward. But, again, I will say, I wish the companies
    selling the product would do their share of experimentation to save
    us some of the failure and maybe as a result of this forum that will
    happen.
