You could probably get away with it though,as no real stress is involved, kind of like a glue,the wire will seem to stick to the iron but wont take any stress,ask me how I know and you will get Quite a story. I was talked into it and I came out looking like a poopy head. Stan --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
