i use clonex. I have the same domes you have, 2 actuall in action now. I just missed one plug last water. Oh well. Thing is i never let the clipping soak for any amout of time...i just dip and go. Maybe i'll give it a chance to permeate next time. I'ma bum now, i lost my job due to school sched., so my funds to get them dam mats isn't available at the moment.
