    I set the tar ones on a slanted computer side piece with a pan at the bottom set a propain torch under it, the tar runs into the pan. when finnished I throw them in a bucket of Gasoline, they come out as bright and shiney transformers @ .30 per lb. or ready for break down.

    My thanks button isn't working, so I wanted to thank you, olddude for giving me some ideas.
