Um... Jim. Our cactuses ARE 25 feet tall! Thay take 150 years to get
there, but they are called sajuaros. We get about 8 inches a year and right
now we are behind. Our rainy season is called "The Monsoon" and comes
around July 15th and ends aprox. Sept. 15th. We'll need to shine and seal
before then. I don't think the few drops that we might get between now and
then will hurt.
Are you telling us to wait for Mid-May to remove the Silicone? Are you
aware that we are already in the upper 80s (Temp.) right now? Have you any
idea what the top of the aluminum-wrapped baked potato will be like, heat
wise, when it's 100 ' F? So what do you have in the way of asbestos suits
over there?
