Wow! - sorry - just a joke not aimed at anyone really... She's the main character in the Spielberg movie "Poltergeist".

"Switch the gender switch to M if you are female, or F if male. " Never had an MPM but I've heard some of the modern iterations have a "T" position, in which case you'd be screwed. Oh, wait....

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I will try baking and see what develops. For the record the parts are stored in nitrogen atmos. under 5% RH. Doesnt mean they werent overexposed when they got here however... JD

I have an AP25 HiE, first time using metal blades. I have found that the paste is not releasing from the metal blades whether it is fresh or old. It is intermittent at times. Any suggestions? David
