I'm not kidding. I went to my LHS and asked Ole Bob for a BriteBoy to clean my track with. He apologized for not having one in stock, and suggested a zero cost alternative. Cut the tongue out of an "old" (make sure it's old or your wife will kill you!) leather shoe (must be actual leather). Attach it to a small block smooth side out. The block should be roughly the width of the full tie. <br /> <br />IT ACTUALLY WORKS![:D] <br /> <br />Ole Bob is always telling me "old school" tips & tricks like this. These are the things he used to do before all of the modern new fangled gadets came along. Suffice it to say the store manager virtually growls when he does this because there's no sale in it. Short term thinking IMHO. But I think Old Bob has the right of it. I'll go back and buy things that there's no substitute for at that store because of the goodwill Ole Bob's built up. And there's no substitute for that. <br /> <br />Trevor[:)]
