Chris,

I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you but at least the offer of a refund is there. And yes, we are a small group of fanatics and some of us view manufacturer and salesman claims...

I just realized I'd made an error in one of my replies up a ways in this thread..... sheesh. The copper sulphate solution was indeed part of my *kit* when working on layouts but it was not used for...
