[R-390] Re: THE dreaded black ukkumpucky

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Have you tried napalm? Start with 500 pounders and work up from there.

If that doesn't work try a little lutefisk .....

Ahhhh... off to the penalty box with Les .... screened messages forever 
... (this is the ukkumpucky thread right ....) ahhhhhh.......

Depending on the color of the patio you may just want to leave them 
where they are.

You can get oxalic acid based solutions that will bleach out just about 
anything. A decent hardware store should stock a couple brands. They 
may also turn the patio white at the same time.

	Take Care!
