Well lets see.... how did you clean them at the time, or what is your usual
proceedure for doing this now ? Might be you have a nice little easy to do trick
on your hands for improving aggrafe termination short of actually reaming and
polishing (burnishing ?) the aggrafe holes. In any case, next time I run into
one of these sprayed (quick and dirty style) off plates I will try cleaning a
few out and see what happens.

btw.. loved the story about you and Del and the string of aggrafes.
