But, I wanted to get "before" pics and opinions before I attempt to soak it and see if the anomaly comes off. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 07/10/2010 2:34 pm LOL! Nothing! I just lifted the clump of glue up with my fingernail. I figured the "gunk" had something to do with it, but wanted to be sure. Bio was right on! Report this Post to the Staff
