[TowerTalk] No end caps

[Bill Aycock]

Jerry- re the "copper" scrubbers- there are actually some copper ones 
available. When I look for the real thing, I take a small magnet with me to 
test  with.  I get some stares, but if they object, I mention false 
advertising.
However, plastic window screen fabric will hold up a fair time. (my screens 
are over 20 years old).
