See you in the pileups, OM!  HI!

Disunirregardless, I have put together probably 100 aerials w/Penatrox ..
so... whatever.   I have noticed that after 6 or so years, the compound gets
a little "gummy", but before re-assembling the antenna, some solvent on a
rag takes care of that, then re-apply the Penatrox.  One query I have, is
that I have used fine steel wool at times for burnishing the elements, and
found out that was not a very good idea ... so, switched to the coarse steel
wool, then use a clean rag to wipe down before assembly ... any thoughts on
this steel wool thing?
