    Do you see honeycomb? can you see light through it? The bottom pic, cut at the top of that.
    Ya, bummer.

    I just stuck a flashlight in the end, and I could see clean through to the bend... no honeycomb.

    we talk about it sometimes and when we were learning i hate to think if we let some breadloafs go just because they dont look like normal converters, i read this thread now and actually know some of what zito and focker are talking about
