In the "old" days, back when we walked 17 miles, uphill both ways, to school and back, when snow was up Shocked

...... sorry wrong analogy... Tongue

we used to strip the covering off, stand the fuse up in a bucket ( 5 gal paint pails worked great) , and poured fine kitty litter in around the fuse....let it stand for several days, wipe everything off, check, and repeat as required ... always worked a charm. I saved many (!) fuselages that way..

I thought it was the fuel he was using. Thanks to Sandy for the helpful Advice

Sandy often sleeps with his planes for company, in the dog house.

well, as i remember, the being dumped isn't really the problem, unless the truck picked up something like a desk just before you..... the part that hurts is the compactor..... gives a fresh perspective to kissing your butt goodbye...... Cry

oooops, am I allowed to say butt here??? Shocked

Hope I don't get censored for that comment.... Wink

When I worked at GWS (Green Waste Systems) one driver told me about an incident that happened when he was on a cardboard run. H had just dumped a bin, and was packing the load. He was looking through the cab's rear window, when someone scrambled over the ram Shocked

, and out the top of the truck (narrowly missing being squashed).
