Well, Carman, the stupid answer is to lay a moving blanket over the inside
and claim to have doubled the value!

The real answer is to get un-backed, uncut strips for uprights, and a new
knife. The darn things didn't work right from the factory, so don't set
your sights (or the customers' expectations) too high.

Don't forget to add the chiropractic surcharge!
