Reply:Sandy, I get real nervous when it's that thick.  It's really easy to mess it up.That's some real nice stuff.Tip size is pretty important, and 02 is pretty important pressure wise.For someone like me that doesn't do this on a daily basis, it's pucker timeI'm pretty sure that most would agree."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
