The only problem being the more you used it the proportion of water from the still wet film and the drying agent changed, so it became slower and slower to dry.

Mirasol as I understand it is another variation of a wetting agent - quite a different kettle of fish to Drysonal
Maybe so, but the OP wanted to dry his negs without scratches or drying marks. Mirasol achieves that, and also deters dust and fungi.
