[TheForge] superquench questions

[Rob Fertner]

The November/December 2004 issue of The Home Shop Machinist has an
article about superquench. He states that he uses a quarter cup of
Cascade liquid dishwasher detergent in 2 gallons of tap water and that
it works as well as the original recipe.

	Don't need it.  Jetdry works.  Probably the same stuff.
