No, I haven't done it myself, but one of my colleages told me it can be done. Enyone tried it?" Patrick, YIKES! Are you outta yer everlovin' goard!???? Like I'm gonna try that one,.....NOT! Of course, if'n yer lookin' fer that real "antiquie look", have at it, be my guest. I would suggest making sure your home/shop insurance is paid up, however!
