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.
