Greg,

I was trying to head the above off before it got there.

When things are labeled "Cold Water Only", there is a reason for it, in this case, it has been tested for it, and it failed, the reason being posted in that information.

Just this afternoon I assembled a tricycle for our granddaughter, I used the handle of a screw driver for a hammer to try to hammer the axle caps on, when that did not work, I went and got a hammer (I have many from my construction days). Do you want your clients to have to go get something, or advise them it's not right in the first place?

Like you and Joshua, I just learned about those things yesterday too.

Crimeny, how many things are we going to have to keep learning about?
