After I stopped laughing over the "murder scene" comment, I went out to my DH's work area and got his smallest can of WD40. I'll keep it in my quilting room from now on, for emergency murder scenes of my own.
I'm loving this thread. I've read it over a couple of times to make sure I haven't missed anything. I'm making note of anything that looks like it will work for me. 8-)
