Frozen Agragge

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

Look, my suggestion came from a technician in my local chapter who has been
using this method for quite some time. I admit that I have never tried it,
but he gave an entire technical on it, and said that it is a quick, sure,
and easy method. I can only try to help, but you can use the method which
you deem best.
