Would it break your fingers to tell me how long we have to smell this s$$t?......You advisory posts could contain a little more info...

I use an old crock pot that we dont cook with anymore and I do it in the workshop. No nasty smell anytime I have done it.

It works. Try it.

Status: offline 		Funny how an impression can be made from computer.

I replied to your initial post because I had a method that works for me. If you didnt think it was lengthy enough I am sorry.

When I replied the first time I wasnt at my computer so I wasnt staying on long.

I wasnt trying to blow you off by the short post. If I was going to do that I wouldnt have posted a reply at all.

I am not sure what you were looking for.

Please remember, This is supposed to be fun. If you are mad while you are on RCUniverse, or any other board. Relax, its just model airplanes..........

Status: offline 		Fivesquare is one of those people who is just very tempermental, and is trying to get something out of us. What the heck is wrong with "crock pot and antifreez?" Does that translate to "I hate you Fivesquare" or something of the like? Calm down buddy. -Steve
