Soak Trace SW's [RE-wrenches]

[Ezra Auerbach, Trace Engineering]

Hi,

Wow, although I certainly could not recommend that procedure, can't argue
with success.  A brave, bold, and fortunately this time, not fool hardy
move.  Glad the laundered SW is still working, did it shrink?

Best regards,

Ezra Auerbach
