JB,
I always try to clean boron with acetone before use. I have also tried sanding it to roughen up. Can't tell if either one does any good, but I still pretend acetone wipe does help.
Neil, I'll try that. I once had okay results by pulling through a glue-soaked napkin, but full strength glue. Tended to grab too much glue, but at least it wasn't a series of beads.
thanks,
MB
