 Hello,
 
 1. Am eagerly awaiting a reply
since I have the same problem.
 
 2. Two such frames have been
soaking in a five-gallon pail
of water, periodically changed,
since March (after freeezing
weather ended).
 
 3. Dark black scales seem to
dislodge one at a time.  I think
it'll take
at least 100 years for
my process to work.
 
4. A cc of this message
is being sent my B-buddy
three miles away who is
strictly into Piercos (I'm
not!!!!).
 
5. He has never given me
a satisfactory reply.
 
Ciao.
 
Jack the B-man
