    Another thing pickle juice is good for is relieving the burn when you burn a hand or finger. Found that out when working at a fast food joint.

    I like pickled peppers, more than pickles. But I usually eat a few each day, typically before bedtime. Now, if I could only get my wife to eat a pickle every night.

    Thanks for getting this thread back on track. Who knows where it would have gone otherwise.

    I normally do as Tom said. Fill them with a large bolt, nuts, washers. Make sure there is room for the epoxy to flow to the bottom and sides and filler up to where it should be for the knot. I have one that weights one pound. Heavy for sure but i have no issue whipping up some lather with it.
