I wish there was a basic instructional guideline with photos to help beginners. Seems there's many ways to skin the cat.

When you think about it, there really is only one way to skin a cat, and it doesn't include core samples. I took the liner out of my 69 CC and dug into the original foam, and it was as new as the day it was built. I wish I would have thought of the core samples and I used to hang out with a bunch of Geologists! Great Idea...Pass it on!
