Damn, that isnt the answer I was looking for! :) Seemed like such an easy
fix! Ill have to call around and ask someone who does this, see what they
use. Doesnt seem economical for me to ship them to Europe to get
dipped... there must be someone here. Maybe even a zip-strip application
and a little steel wool. I dont mind spending time on them if it works!
Will keep you posted. THanks
