there's always next time...Quote:

I seem to recall a discussion about rolling the edge.. The suggestion was made to VERY LIGHTLY explore the edge from spine towards to the bevel, using the tip of a straight pin. Is it that slight that you can't feel it with a finger nail or finger or see it with a loupe?
You can also have a wife who runs the AC nonstop so it's cold and dry inside. I never have rust problems. Cost me about 200 a month though.
I am often in Astoria! I love the place.Quote:
