Definite improvement!

There was nothing more to do for the reverse. Nice job.

Still a long way to go, try it again, though I think the subject is hardly worth the effort.

You were not the first one to do that, nor will you be the last.

I would soak in VC per BadThad's suggestion.

There is NO downside on this particular coin. :)

Interesting - I hadn't seen how Verdi-Care works, although I've thought about picking some up. Thanks for posting your results!
