Therefore there are no procedures for > cutting them in water or applying them. There are many procedures that are not legal in the USA, but exist nontheless. There are also a number of very legitimate reasons for knowing about these procedures. One of them may be that the enquirer does not live under US law (with the possible exception of Helms-Burton and California civil law which apparently reaches *everywhere* <grin>). Another might be that the person enquiring is a regulator and wants to understand this illegal procedure. I for one do not live under US law, except when I travel in the USA, and although the mentioned substances are not permitted for the specified uses here in Canada either, I understand the need for free interchange of information. Although disseminationg knowledge has its risks and costs, the price of ignorance and censorship is much higher. I would be interetested in the details. Allen
