Next time @rub, it helps if you can be a little more descriptive in your question. Thx.

Rubduck Valued Member United States 338 Posts	Posted 02/26/2025 10:13 am Yeah, after I hit post, I realized I should have been a little more descriptive. I apologize I didn't know what to call it. The Ring of Death is what I thought it was. I mean, it's so deep preston you can actually hold water in it like a thimble Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 02/26/2025 10:26 am No worries--I'm glad we got your question answered and it is good to understand the difference between the Ring of Death and ridge ring--I can understand how the similar names make it confusing.
