    I too have had no problems with Matron, perhaps I'm too far for her to travel.
    Regarding CA, the only way that I have found that works for me, is the end of a toothpick.

                          I really couldn't justify the cost of brass stanchions delivered to NZ, so had to go with the PE, it will be a real learning curve, but I will do my best :smiling:
