We need a GERN thread

[Lester Perry]

Gotta love it. Just this evening I tried adding flux pellets to calcium about 1/2 oz. of flux to one pound of calcium. I got a little concerned as it smoked a little. Anyway I put some on the snow out my back door and it completely melted the snow faster than calcium alone and left the walk completely dry. I know this is not a true calibrated test to Gern standards but I think it deserves looking into. My layout is set up in early to mid summer. Now if someone out there in Big Blue world is in winter they might be able to test this for accuracy and to the high standards of Gern. Then again Mr Gibson may already know about this and be able to clarify it for me.
