on't know the name of it, but I saw some at Radio Shack the other day.


Last year we used "Freeze-it" on our drill motors. It seemed to work well
but we could never find that can when we needed it. It should be available
at almost any electronics store. It's used to cool IC's, etc . . as far

Hope that helps.
