Re:
Hi all,
I've been using the wire coat hangers exactly as Karri suggests, and it
works very well. You can reuse these over and over again. Also, if you
can find plastic coated wire ones, they keep longer. You can get two nice
long ones by snipping the straigt part rigtht in the middle, then snipping
the two resulting U-shpaed lengths off at the "shoulder" just before the
part where the wires are twisted together to form the hook.
