The following, between the rows of asterisks, is a snippet of correspondence I had
regarding Stabilant 22, an electrical conductivity enhancer that VW mentions.  Not
cheap but they say a little goes a long way, and it may be what would help you.  I
have not yet tried it.  That's the contact info at the end.

Dear Dana,

Not quite. You get to put it in the bottle yourself. There is a 5 ml bottle
(full) and a 15 ml bottle (empty).

The rest is up to you.

Thanks for the inquiry,

Jerry Bruck
