Brilliant! The illustration on the can is worth the price alone and must indicate that it blows your skirt up huh?

I think the key to success here is use of sealant on fresh wounds. I'm ceratin that an old wound that has dried has already suffered fungal and insect atttacks, and to put sealnat on such a wound only seals in the bad stuff. __________________ Over 25 years experience - good and bad, and still learning!
