Goodness- been away on vacation and too busy watching the Tour de France. But now I'm back posting and find fresh instructions how to use cannabis to weather French railcars! Splendid! Magnifique! Chapeau to Sven.

I have been watching the Tour everyday for the past three weeks. Too bad about Andy Schleck. He raced an outstanding Tour and missed winning by exactly the time he lost when his chain fell off (and the other guys seemed to forget about good sportsmanship). -- Russ

Hi all,

first a reassuring remark to the controversial subject "INCENSE STICKS".
Take it easy! It´s a legal merchandise without any banned substances. ;)
So, let´s keep the point and forget the french car, it has a dental treatment ::).

Jacq, you´re right! It was a little too much :'(

Outwards curved dents on a gondola

scrubbed cellulose-acetat-sheets (normally used for spectacle frames)

softened with ACETONE
and applied with a brush
