Thank you Randy.

Good to go!
Sorry, mine was a statement, not a question of my methods being enough.
I've been successfully using this product for many years and was looking for input if you saw anything bad in the product description (aside from the admitted but low lead content).
Thanks again

Hopefully others can find it as cheap as I get it !!
