And how much ISP do you lose in that 3 to 7%?

Who needs 87 %? 80-84 % is sufficient for kerosene autoignition.

Cobalt butyrate seems to be really hard to find in any form and I can find
no MSDS for it however Cobalt Octoate which is also mentioned is somewhat
toxic in close quarters and on prolonged contact, It supposedly mixes with
JP10 and according to the info I just went through is easy to acquire. I
have no specifics on it's use or results of use with HTP.
In reply to another post, plated silver will start shedding from nickle even
at 87% on longer runs, 45 seconds in our case.
