Cocoa Butter Silk with Revolation Series Temperers?

[Capouch]

I have a Revolation X temperer and am anxious to try using cocoa butter silk for tempering.  

 

I've asked around but so far haven't found anyone who has done it.  Called the manufacturer and they gave me a reference, but it didn't pan out: the fellow didn't respond to my inquiry.

 

Has anyone here done it, and/or has any advice for me?

You can simply use the RevX as a melter - get your chocolate melted and at 33.5 º C (you don't need to go all the way up to a higher temperature and back down) and add 1% EZtemper silk. You can have melted chocolate on both sides of the baffle.

I have a Chocovision Delta tempering machine and have recently switched to using silk for tempering.  I found it difficult to use tempered chocolate as seed.  If I used the callets from the bag, they didn't entirely melt--a real nuisance.  To my surprise, I have found that chocolate tempered with silk seems to take longer to get in an overtempered state, and with the Chocovision machines and their constant motion, overtempering is a significant problem.  It doesn't take much silk at all.
