Very good post, Paul, I hated to delete so much of it for this reply, but I have just one thing on mixing technique to add: I learned years ago with other catalyst-type materials to MIX TWICE. In other words, I mix (just like you said, in the cup), and then transfer the material to a fresh cup. I think it prevents having any residual un-mixed stuff in your pour. I also prefer the Koenig.
