Chris,

I saw 'em, and was thinking of using them to wrap 8" ducting around. I still
haven't made the torrid for my new coil, so maybe I'll try it. It looked
like the ducting would wrap well around it, and then the holes would be
covered. If you get around to trying it before me let me know, and vice
versa of course.
