[TheForge] In a pickle now!

I think the problem may actually be in her location having access to dry
ice, but since she doesn't have that much of the liner inside of the bronze
anyway, by chilling the liner in a home made coffer dam, I think it should
shrink enough to remove.

Al what would happen if she plugged the end inside the gun somehow and
poured in
say 5 lb of crushed dry ice?
