BR ... a guy named JC Penney opened 11 stores before one became successful and grew into the chain we know today...when I was developing my lock, I had many failures before it worked...trial & error...AKA Research & Development takes many forms

What a shame it would have been if his budget had run out on his 38th attempt at WD 40...

All I know is, his 40th cleaned and rejuvenated the old floor deck in this boat...worked like a champ!!...
