If it tests clean, you can add it at once.

Thats what I thought but I also read that anything over 0.5 can continue to kill the rock and do more harm then good. I was going to leave it as soon as I got a lower reading the that. But thats why I posted my problem here, looking for any and all ideas I can get.
