Wow, some nasty stuff coming off of my "new" DownBeat kit. I am following the instructions here about soaking the lug screws (the ones from the inside of the shell) for 24 hours in mild dish detergent.... Got to thinking, I have a water softener which supposedly puts a very minute about of salt in your water (a level that is even safe for small pets etc)...
Has anyone with a water softener done this before and had problems? Just to be safe, I might shorten the soaking time to 6 hours or so?
Thanks....
