Powerburst is good though ;D

Post by: calmore on August 25, 2010, 08:17:15 pm: i used to use the powdered stuff until someone recommended a bar of soap-it really works!

It's also worth cutting some into small cubes and sucking them up the vac pipe as it coats the inside of the tube.

Good idea about the sock!
