ER...that brings back memories.
I have what is called a "Pink Pet" ... I thought it was equivalent to
the old "Pink Pearl" erasers my pop used as a a CPA so many years ago.
But, now y'all got me worried.
I just looked, and the "ink eraser" I mentioned is made of pliable soft
"rubber" manufactured by Helix and purchased at the local
Office-Staples-Depot-Max, and may not be a true "ink eraser" after all,
but still, Bob's point remains - it may not be the best tool for the
job. Who knows what it is really made of? It all seemed so simple
until now!
This is what it really is:

I am a real fan of using the right tool for the job, so this is a
material inquiry for me as I am building more and more kits as I go
along. In fact, I am kinda bursting with pride because some guy
offered me $75 for my the little microphone attenuator and adapter
project I invented. While tempting, I would not let him do that, as it
IS amateur radio, but it IS flattering nonetheless.
Thanks for the uptake guys.
