John, I haven't tried an Eezibleed, but I can't see this as being a problem.
DOT 5 does have a disadvantage in that air bubbles don't separate out quite
as quick as they do from DOT 3/4, but the solution is to simply let it
'breathe' a bit after adding to the MC.
Mis-information about DOT 5 abounds, much of it comes from so-called
experts. Sorta reminds me of the movie "Reefer Madness" <g>
