Hey George:

Did you not also mention previously that if one did not bake the
affected part, it was possible to get rid of the hydrogen by
leaving the tool out in the sun?

I'm wondering because I electrozapped my big rip saw that I've
been yammering about, and I never did anything to it after that,
other than having Tom Law sharpen it...

The electrozap was many months ago - I'm wondering if I should do
anything else???
