Bob,
	May be too late, sorry.

	Raise the bench. Really.
		In a pinch, a quick dose of teflon powder or "one-puff" on the knuckles
will give the most noticable change, if there's a change to be had.
On the other hand, if he just knows you've put some time in and pulled the
action, the placebo effect might be enough..... 
		Good luck,

Guy
