Hi Bob,

Thanks for letting the rest of us know what would happen. Occasionally I get
a roll of this stuff from a customer and I always tell them "Sorry, I can't
help you. You'll have to send it back to the (whatever) lab". I've often
wondered if it would work in my Wing-Lynch but have never had the "guts" to
give it a try.

Now I know. Thanks for saving me the clean up time!
