I'm going to try it when I get home in a few hours. Haven't been home in a week. I've got a few bottles in the garage.

That is a perfect shovel. Does it have a brand name on it-I like the black and gold color too.
Picked up some Velcro straps at Canadian tire to hold the shovel in place , never installed them yet, but I hope it works
