All this fuss about tiny bubbles.  When I replaced my Spitfire brake 
lines last year I used DOT5.  I was careful when I poured.  The 
bottls of fluif had been sitting on my bench for a week or so rather 
than having just banged around in a car as I brought them home.  
Perhaps the extra time it took me to bleed the brakes all by myself 
helped too, but I've had no trouble with tiny bubbles.  At least none 
that I know about.  The brakes are good.  I did nothing special other 
than make the usual burnt offering to Lucas and Girling and Leycock 
and a few other minor dieties of the LBC pantheology.
