I wonder how the straight fuellers react when you reject them after what they've done? I bet plenty attempt to deny it or get stroppy and storm off.

It's encouraging to hear many not needing to return.
Are you running out of grey hammertone yet? You can't go wrong slapping that on. A nice neutral shade that takes a few years off them.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
