Topband: A Big Mess!

[Ralph Matheny]

An old elmer of mine taught me that any procedure that will keep water
out will keep water in.  There is no way to beat God's two most powerful
inventions--water and gravity.  Always leave a vent hole so water can get 
in and out.  Put the hole on the bottom, and Mr. gravity will probably
do the rest.

As for "Zinc Plated Hardware"  I can't even use that inside anymore.  If
there is really any plating on it, it is very weak and fails quickly.
