Well I've used Red Sign paint. Works rather well. Just ask for it at
Standard Brands.

Now on the the subject change. Anybody have any experience with getting
EasyFoam loose? For reasons I shan't discuss I didn't get to take Rebel
to the Ridgecrest 20 mule Team 55-100. I did take Breck Thomas (my
neighbor) who got his first ever compeltion in his first attempt. Well
it looks like I've lost another crew, but I'm glad to bring in another
convert to Endurance. Good job Breck and Shannon. So getting back to the
point I worked Jackie's P&R crew just to do something as well as crewed
for Ann Wrenn and Randy Coleman who rode Ann's Ali (anglo-arab) in Ali's
first 100. Well really I more or less just drove their truck for point to
point, since I was going there anyway. Unpacked the hay and water and
repacked it for 'em.

Again to the point. At one of the vet checks a lady had affixed EasyBoots
over her shoes since he'd been standing around in muck for a week or two
and softened his hooves. She was told by her farrier that as the desert
ride might get sand in the shoes and irriate that it would be a good idea
to use easyfoam to block it out. WOW HOW DO YOU GET THIS STUFF OFF? It
took 3 of us using farrier tools (finally the ride vet got 'em off) to
pry those little buggers off. EasyFoam is one intense adhesive. Is there
anyway other then toughing it out??? (WITH A PRYBAR)
