That's one q I'd been wondering on, can they successfully retreat the 'new'
outer core to a suitable hardness while maintaining a more ductile inner
core.  I guess I'm always trying to figure out a way to get my foot in the

having a hard time phoning them as they're 'only' a 5 day 9-5 company...hmm
that's what we are and I like it;^)
