Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	Y Approve	Good morning. We can approve this product based on the NTPEP data and will need a sample sent this way. But…before I list, I need the recommended dosages for use as Type A and Type F. The tech data sheet just provides a dosage of 2oz to 12oz with no distinction between the two.	Jan 13, 2023	3193
