Cool. Even though I don't like Elixirs very much, I still like people trying new things and figuring out what they like on their own.

yea that is a bomb deal......... I'm thinkin it might be cheaper to have you buy them an send me some then pay full price here (which is only like 12 a pack, not outrageous like someplaces). Also I suggest trying both nano and polweb coating. I had the polys for a while and decided they were to slippery, I like the nanowebs a lot.

all the stores i went to before sold them for $28, i think. so when i found them for 20, i thought that was incredible. but goodness, two for ten. i'd stock up for a few years, seriously. or at least a year.
