Heat melts it right off. You don't need more than 2000 psi  -------------

Use peanut butter and lots of cats. No psi or heat needed. Number of cats x time = price charged. Charge more if you must supply the peanut butter (smooth, not chunky). |

| Mind_freak, there are alot of variables as to what to charge. I always charge on an hourly basis, being each spot may take defferent amounts of time to remove. Only you know what your company needs to make an hour to make a proffit. Good Luck |
