Grip renovation

[BILL]

Art, I will contact you off the forum, but...If we don't share information that we have we will defeat the purpose of this forum. I know what it is like to tell someone something that you KNOW is right and have people come out of the woodwork to belittle what you say. Unfortunately we sometimes encourage our local experts inadvertantly by praising them for their knowledge and overlooking their bad social characteristics. I would like to encourage you to share your feelings, good or bad, about soaking a minty pair of original walnut grips that are seventy years old in a bowl of soapy water (it does sound sort of harsh when you think about it). I don't have any feelings one way or the other (I have used the soap and water method and it works and I noticed no bad results) but if you can tell us a different way to achieve the same results I know there are many fine folks here who would love to hear about it. Either way, your input is respected and appreciated.
