Call Lon Paul and ask him to work his magic

That was the advice I was given long ago by Sawyer - exterior on clothes, never on bare skin and never on interior of clothes. That advice may have changed over time. Certainly there is some contact, but it was about reducing direct/prolonged contact when possible. Again, that advice may not...

Why would you wash immediately after application? That would do nothing but start removing the permethrin active ingredient from the material. The liquid is just the carrier for the permethrin particles, so once the carrier is dry, it will be as effective as it ever will be. It's also not...

The threads on the tap may be deep and the screw is not deep enough? I had that with a set of custom Talley bases and a model 70. A longer screw worked.

You know, I don’t know if it was, but I’ll ask Joe. I talk to him all the time.

I've only cooked it once, but we have a very proud Basque community here in Idaho and they cook it every week in a 4 ft pan out on the sidewalk. It's delicious.

Since it's been through the London Proof House, is it possible to kind of reverse engineer it and ask if they have a record of it?

Welcome from Idaho - but SC has always been my second home as I have had relatives live there since about 1963.

Very nice. I recognize that scenery. I like that desert area to the south. There is a place I hang out I call Africa because the scrubby trees remind me of some places in the NFD of Kenya.

I crimp everything

Jim is a good dude for certain. Figured he was keeping them in stock.
