Get the rainbow mix OUT, I say, OUT, OUT, OUT!

David: If it started leaking after you changed to the blue stuff, what did
you do to stop the leak? Are you saying that changing to your "rainbow mix"
plugged it? Or did you do the unthinkable and start adding Barsleaks, or raw
eggs, or pepper or some other witches brew (all very well for the quick fix
in an emergency, but hardly supportable as a long term solution, IMNSHO)?
