I'd trust alcohol more than anything.

The other thing I might use would be TCP.

You shouldn't tease the brain-damaged.

Thanks. BTW, this all happened about 10 years ago.

Interesting how much certain people live in the past and keep reliving it.
Not my family. We celebrated my daughter's birthday today. She brought
along some photo albums from family canoe trips that included Nate. She was
closest to Nate and probably took it the hardest of all. However, when she
saw thse old pictures of Nate, she was OK with them. Like the rest of us,
she has moved on.

When I bought some OM5s from eBay that had "Bar breath", I rinsed them with
Windex (water, isopropyl alcohol, and a little surfactant). We've been
using them at church for about 3 years since then, and they still sound and
smell good.
