I didn't carry it to .001 weights. I stand corrected. I rounded off a bit.
Most scales that the average photo user has will not allow a precise measure
of weights of Chlorides that we use since we are looking a 3g samples of
palladium chloride, not 3.000g.
I did see that when I ran the figures against Mr. Wares papers, but I let it
go. We were much closer than before and didn't think that it would matter
that much.
Sorry for the error.
