[TowerTalk] Cleaning Aluminum Eelements

[wa4dou@juno.com]

Hi Guys,
  With all due respect, i find it amusing, that some of you work so hard
and diligently
at finding the most successful and useful techniques, to accomplish
various purposes,
some of which are very insignificant. Gimme a break! I've been cleaning
aluminum
for years with 0000 steel wool pads, and i've never had any trouble.
Period!
