Re: Gum problem(s)

Hi,

After reading what as been said here and elsewhere I would say that all of
you are probably both right and wrong at the same time. I'm the curious guy
who ask this question and I realize that no ones situation is the same and
even the reference they cite may have been made in condition that don't even
apply to gum at all.

I think the best answer I would give now goes something like this, try some
of the suggestions you'll receive and if you find one that works for you
just stick with it especially if you like the results.

I know, this is not a "good" scientific response but are we trying to do
science or "ART"? I plead guilty in kind of asking for a specific answer but
I'm sure now that even if I knew everything that happens molecule by
molecule when I expose the stuff it wouldn't help a tiny bit in creating a
masterpiece.

Thanks to you all your thought, explanation and everything else, all of
these have been more useful then you can think.

Regards
Yves
