The only problem is that it doesn't look nice and you will need to remove them if they start to rot. Last edited by trystianity at 24-Jul-2005 18:20 |

If not romove it as this can cause bacterial problems. Keith ![]() ![]() Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
