That's great to hear. I had throught the stem was stainless so I had never tried using alum to dissolve it.Thanks for the mention bttb, you were very lucky that I found some broken one's that I had just fixed days before.
I found out that you can disovle the broken stems out of the Crowns with ALUM.
Hope you enjoy your Aussie trip.
Cheers Deano.
