To Wogpotter,

I know you were speaking figuratively but I have to hasten to say I never use the sink. Too much danger of a screw going down the drain. Plastic basin is the way to go.

I also like the idea of a hair dryer. I just never tried it. It might work better than the oven. I would still spread the parts out on a cookie sheet being careful not to blow them all over the floor.

You and I are in complete agreement on how to deal with nipples. The standard nipple wrench won't take a lot of torque. To me, just a little more than finger tight is tight enough.

To Hawg and Sixgun,

I am gratified to read that you think that powder is desireable over pellets. I had thought of trying pellets. Now I don't have to.
