Hi Dave
Despite my close involvement with this topic, I had not heard about reports of whiskering due to "excessive ionic cleanliness levels" and do you mean too clean or not clean enough.
We have a new project on this topic that looks to become a recipient of EU funding on this side of the pond. It would be very helpful if I could get a copy of such findings - as when they become available. Can you help?
Regards
