[SEL] Blow Torch Leathers

[Judge Tommy Turner]

While putting an O ring on a shaft once I accidentally dropped it in some 
lacquer thinner I had on the bench to clean a paint brush.  I looked for an 
hour for the O ring and finally gave up and went to town and purchased 
another one.  The next day I was pouring out the thinner and there was the O 
ring.  It was about 1/2 inch dia before it went in the thinner.  It was 
probably an inch and a half diameter when I pulled it out.  Real "rubbery" 
too!
