    When it comes to using a product for this issue, Chemi-Clean has always been the one I've recommended. I've used it countless times with great results. About two years ago or so, a new liquid ...

    I picked up two frags at Exotic Frags, one of the many booths at Next Wave yesterday. A chalice and a Blasto merletti.
