You did. Maybe someone else reading this will not do it. Actually, I used
some stuff last year that a guy had that is a sun block product in a stick
form that is not petroleum based that worked well on for leaking 'stache....
I neglected to get the name though and have not been able to find it since.
Now I'm on the quest again.... If I run across it, I'll give you a shout...
