Ah - pimp! I'll see if I can find some foil tape at Lowe's tomorrow. I knew there was something better than duct tape. Kelly - give me a ring and I can bring you up to speed on where I'm at and maybe how we should divide work. I don't think I'll be able to make it by NB in any kind of a sober state before Saturday.<br>

Have you considered foil tape? It's definitely, totally, completely light tight.<br>
