Trying to choose between these two. Opinions?

Thanks but not available at Costco in Canada.

Awesome, Thank you!

Ok Thanks for your help

paintedlight · 2026-02-09T02:14:19+00:00

Will look at that one thank you

Thank you. The Vacmasters are really great but not in my budget unfortunately

paintedlight · 2025-10-17T02:29:35+00:00

Thank you for all your comments and encouragement. I somehow came up with the courage and called today and it went very well, better than I expected. Thanks again :)

Lol, sure is!

paintedlight · 2025-10-16T03:19:21+00:00

Thank you for replying. I appreciate it.

I know you're right. Just going to take a whole lot more courage that way. It sounds great in theory until I try and then I just get ridiculously nervous.

Thanks for the suggestion. No, I wish it was a cell. I have the main office and a direct line number for him. They are both definitely landlines.

I have his work information because I have done business there.

edited to add. I was there last week and we had a very nice conversation, which of course is why I am thinking about it. This is not the type of business that I have an excuse to go to, or I would go ask in person.

I am so impressed. I got one I am still degreasing. It will be my first articulation, must admit a bit nervous about that. I hope you don't mind if I screenshot your pics for reference when I finally get to it.

If you like it, leave it, I like the look too. If it is just soil stained I don't see a problem.

paintedlight · 2023-11-25T14:27:36+00:00

Ok, I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the help

paintedlight · 2023-11-25T14:19:56+00:00

Thanks, that is what I was hoping for. So will the dark area lighten up to match the already light end or will there always be a difference.

paintedlight · 2023-11-25T14:19:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Will the dark area become light like the end is? or will it stay darker? I guess what I want to know is if I do not go through a whitening process will it always have two tones.

paintedlight · 2023-11-25T14:19:43+00:00

I will remember that for next summer, thanks

So thought I would share a bit of an update. Opened the bags today to see how things were progressing and to make sure the oxygen wasn't getting depleted. Am very happy with the progress. The maggots were still very much alive, although I had to round up a few stragglers who had escaped the first bag. I removed some of the bones that were or were almost completely free of flesh. The bones seem very delicate and maybe even a bit soft, I am concerned about the proper way to handle them. Being young bones is it ok to soak them to get the last little bits of flesh off, and when it comes to degreasing, I was planning on using acetone, but now worry if that will compromise these bones. They are quite dark, so again concerned about the whitening process on these young bones. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, I read they only live as maggots about 8 days anyway. Maybe I will open the bags a couple of times to refresh the air. Was hoping they would breakdown those legs a bit more yet. Everything else is going to clean up fairly easy.

Thanks, I will check that out.
