Great Tip Hugh! I think I may try this if the stuff isn't too
expensive. Thanks to everyone for there speedy replies!!!
I just went down to the Home Depot and got a wire wheel attachment for
my Dremel tool. It took off the "crud" in all the little grooves nicely,
but it still has that wire wheel look to it. I also tried a sanding pad
from the furniture restore section but it took to long for my patience.
Thanks again! You all are great and I look forward to meeting some of
you for the first time at Mid-Ohio in June! Hope to see you all there!
