Yeah! I loved it. Good to know there's a term for what happens to your hand when you're dredging. But it makes me wonder about club foot?!?

I couldn't get the little globs of WPI out of my scratcher pad even after soak! And I think I had a nylon brush that was hopelessly gummed up. Maybe I should've just soaked it longer.

Oh well, I'm off wheat now.
