Excel as a treatment for BBA?

I've got a little bit of BBA I need to treat (not the thread stuff, just the raised black tuffs). Aside from raising my Co2 from 30-40ppm to 40-50ppm, I've read some people have been using Excel to treat BBA. Even some users of pressurized CO2 seemed to have tried it. I thought I would start a thread for people to post and consolidate their findings:

1) Are you using Excel in addition to pressurized CO2?
2) Are you dosing the suggesting amount? Doubling?
3) Is your BBA low lying or thread/brush-like?
4) Your results and how long you've been treating.
