Perhaps it would be prudent to consider submitting a proposal for a revised
oxalic acid vaporization protocol.  Perhaps 3 sections, OA drip, OA
sublimation(aka vaporization), and the “shop towel” method.

As nearly as I can tell, if properly applied, OA sublimation may be just as
safe to use with honey supers present (perhaps with the exception of OA
drip) as Formic acid.  Moreover, some of the safety guidelines appear to
require a revision.

It would also help for a clarification on the different vaporizer types and
how to apply them.  For example the pro vap 110 would serve as a good
“baseline”.

The restrictions on OA use currently appear rigid, and we have learned
quite a bit from experience since the original approval.

Regards,

Alex
