'Course, it won't sell steam machines, but it's a lot more entertaining. PYRO TIP # 2: For removing bridle tapes on older uprights: Just stand that sucker on end, and light the bottom tape. If you tuck the tapes into relativily common position, you may only have to re-light at the breaks. Poof! 60 second tape removal. A note on steam... I've used it a lot, in the past. I like it for certain things, and I've enjoyed steam voicing quite a bit, lately. I'm sure that Sgt. steam is a great industrial machine, but most of my steam came from an upholstery steamer, or a pressure cooker. Not to "cheap-out", but there was always enough, and the expense was WAY lower. With voicing, of course, I just use the hammer iron. I haven't decided which I prefer, when it comes to voicing my fingers. Burns last longer, but don't stain the hammers!
