        There's polyethylene and then there's polyethylene.  You
        have to be  =really=  careful when you go out to buy
        plastics of any kind these days, but especially polyalkylenes
        of any type  (more careful than going out on a Saturday
        night without condoms!)

        Your poly (or Poly) may be virginal - or may have
        already been around a few places and done a few things
        -- if you (a-hem!) get my meaning.  Sometimes the truth
        is plainly told, but it's just as apt to be artfully
        concealed.

                Too many tree-huggers around.  Too much re-
                cycling.  Too many blends (low molecular wt.,
                high molecular wt., ethylene, propylene,
                butylene, new, used, re-cycled, de-cycled
                {and God knows what else}).

        If you don't know your poly (or Poly) well enough, best
        be a little cautious at first (wink!).  Don't commit
        to a major roll (bank -- or in the hay) any too soon.
        Go slow, and play around a little, first.

        Been there.  Hadn't done that.  And had to take the cure.

                                        Word to the (un)wise, in --
                                        Detroit, USA
