Arghhh! This is what revision does to you, it makes you forget the things that are more important just so you can answer some crappy questions that have no relation to the syllabus that you've studied!

Will do Cheesy Hopefully should be pretty good.

I think we Need a 'How To Section' that things like this can be put into Danny? Would be good having a few walkthroughs on the most commonly asked questions and helpfull tips like this.

Jason, there was a complete how-to on rust removal in CKC a couple of months back, I can dig it out for you if you're interested?
