[woodchucker]

just learned a new use for borax.. I use it after a treatment of oxalic acid when bleaching wood. it stops the process. also use it for other cleaning tasks. 20 Mule Team Borax... at your supermarket... many uses.

While we're on the 'many uses for Borax' . . . I have used Boraxo while scrubbing the inside of aluminum alloy wheels to remove the common crud (disc brake and road grime, tar, etc.). I thought it worked pretty well and didn't seem to damage the factory surface coating.

I use it in a a water solution to neutralize primers from reloading mistakes.

There should be support group for horizontal accumulation malady. I helped you out by buying that chuck but it instantly found it's way onto a flat surface like it was home again!

I've been watching this show a long time... Not to be a debbie downer, but highly unlikely. If you ever clean that garage / house/ basement out then I must be in an alternate universe.
