Man o Man! My head's spinning with all the tips that poured in. MANY Thanks to all.
JayCee - You're right on the money. The wealth of knowledge to be found on this site is overwhelming. The education I get here never ends.
Joe - I know what you mean! I'm going to have to sneak into the elementary school down the road to get some chalk so I can try this on ANYthing.
Gnomon - Back in the late 80's - early 90's I was a very active handgunner and there was a particular electrolysis set-up that was marketed heavily. Can't remember the product name at all. It was something everyone wanted to try but none did. I don't doubt it works, and thank you for the "home kit" version but switching on the lights is the closest I get to anything electrical!
