[Lowfer] Not a RotoHammer, but a good pilot hole starter

[Andy - KU4XR]

John:  I do believe that all of the " Clumping " types of Kitty 
litter are Sodium based, ( the swelling type ). Here is a link
with some info on the subject:

And my experience with using it, is that it definitely does
swell, tremendously so, and stays in a " gooey " state afterwards.
