Re: (ATM) Problems of 1st time "Pitcher"

Iolo, I'm not sure about your description using a "paper" lined baking 
pan. It can easily be explained when I ask this question. Is the paper 
stuck to the pitch when removed from the pan and is the paper ever 
removed? If the paper is removed how, _OR_ is that, the paper, what 
sticks to the bees wax? Maybe I just answered my own question, hunh?

Friendly Bob
