Yeah, it's a good idea - if you manage to solve your own problem, to post both your problem and your solution to it.

This is interesting to us all, a) because you may have found another way to do it to the rest of us, and b) there will always be someone somewhere who hasn't done that yet and may need to know right now... or later, how to do it, and c) someone may have another interesting thing to add to your already found solution.

So please, don't be shy, tell us all about it.
I for one am fascinated to know what the first problem was, and how you solved the second one (I know one way, there may be more)

P.S. where was that material, caustic a17?
