[TheForge] Re: Alternatives to Pure Iron

[Equity Realty Equity Realty]

My friend Skip still has some of the pure iron that he shared with me after 
he bought it at ABANA / La Crosse.  It works like a dream. 

Respective to alternatives to "pure"
But what happened to the Double Ought iron  (.06  carbon) or what ever that  
was,  that was promoted on this list last year?
