Thanks for the info on the sap Marc.  And for posting the video as well.  It is always great to learn from the pros.

never read tbb4 so this really helped. I was doing it too fast I guess. It still worked but your taking at least triple the time I used when I did it. Looking forward to trying this  Thanks :)

A couple days is enough for a bow to hydrate back up for tillering, especially in a bathroom
