150 or 200 gallons?

Anorial · 05-07-2004, 06:06 PM

Nope to all guesses

So how does this work? Do I let you guys struggle or spill the beans cause you're obviously guessing?

I would have thought that people should be up to doing a bit of research.

Well, I'm stumped. I searched google on 'weta silicone', 'weta lord of the rings silicone daily use', and about 1000 other combinations. I even went to www.lordoftherings.net and read all the production articles.

Short of calling a Weta executive, I can't think of much else to do!
