Gary,
Those items would work well. Off I go to a drug store (if I can find
one!!), for some Altoids.
Then Canned COLD on Monday!
Thanks,

Great idea Brian. How about this for nowadays - empty Altoid mints case
(still metal) to put the critter in, then go to an electronics suppy house
and get "canned cold" - I believe this is still available, but now in a
non-CFC formulation. It is used by repair technicians to isolate electronic
component failures due to temperature (freeze the suspect component by
spraying it; if the HiFi amp starts working again, that tranistor is the
problem <g>.
