Actually, Bob (from another list) said he was told about wetting the towels and then letting them dry, then using them. he tried it and said it works a lot better (he's sensitive so he can tell) than using wet towels. Odd, huh?
Samala, Renee Although I wrapped the copper handholds in a layer of wet paper towel I ended up with a burn on the side on which I felt the estim most.
