[Icom] PW-1 SO-239 discoloration

[Chris BONDE]

Tony:
I ran into so many different type of chop sticks that I was amazed.  I 
living in a sheltered life thought that there was only one type, the long 
bamboo type, w e  l   l,   I find not so.

For the rich ivory, for those who wish to look rich plastic ivory, ordinary 
people bamboo, some restaurants in Asia disposable BC pine wood, and in 
wood starved S Korea stainless steel.  The stainless steel, being thiner 
and harder, to me, were the worst to use, dug right into the fingers and 
slipped more.

The best suggestion for separators, that I have heard is using plastic 
rods, heat the wire with a soldering gun (must this gun be registered with 
the Federal government?) and push the wire into the end of the rod.  Or cut 
small slots in the plastic rod, put the wire in then heat (small blow 
torch) to close the slot over the wire.  I am afraid of open flames and 
plastic tho.  Maybe a solvent for the plastic would be better with a slot 
width just tight for the wire.
