I was halfway in between.  My darling wubbie wouldn't let me cure the
headers in the oven like the instructions said... so I carefully
heated them with a torch.  Hey, it was worth a try.

I probably made it about as far as 2 minutes. :P

Ceramic is the way to go, no doubt, but it's pricey.  I'd be
interested to hear if anyone has any exp. with the Griot's or Eastwood
brush-on stuff.
