: Hey there Mr. Pruden!
: Thanks for the response up stairs....I use the vinegar to clean up the
: thickened epoxy off a surface, and to clean off tools....but sorry to say
: I usually throw used syringes (goopy schmutz) away...though that policy
: might change given the results you get using Acetone. I think it might
: behoove me to experiment with denatured alcahol too. The vinegar works
: well enough if I can scrub...which is a daunting task inside a syringe.

: On another note, I must say, I enjoy reading your input on the KBBB. I think
: we do things a bit differently sometimes, but I guess that's the beauty of
: diversity! Be well!

Thanks, Bill! I'm not quite as technical as others here are. I've learned and come to appreciate tons from the more experienced builders here but I still like to learn some things on my own. My experince with building is still in the budding stages. After I build the Night Heron I just might lay claim to a little more skill. With all the input we get here on the GBBS it's easy to figure out which way is going to work out best taking all things (including personalities) into consideration.

Interestingly enough, with all this talk of syringes, some one in Winnipeg sent me a whole bunch of assorted syringes. No name on teh package, just a return address. Does someone want me to get building or what? ;)
