Tight action centers

Yes.  I did not not take kindly to it.   The spray itself is cheap enough
for anyone to try.  I did one flange first, seemed to work great, next day,
same MO as when I started.  Tried another flange with net effect.  It's not
very directional either.  It would spray a lot more than just the flanges.

Caution: Be certain to experiment outdoors.
