Try mixing up the Ping-Pong ball sized pro-seal applications in a TEFLON
coated muffin tin. I found a new teflon coated 6 count muffin tin in my
kitchen. I didn't put it there, I never used it for cooking, hell, I
didn't know I had one. (My wife sure missed it, she kept asking If I saw
the muffin tin) At any rate, the pro-seal doesn't stick to the teflon
and the metal tin made mixing up the goop very manageable. I could mix
up 3 or 4 applications in each hole before I moved on to the next hole.
It took 2 days for the goo to totally cure. Once cured, I could roll out
the dried, rubbery pro-seal with a popsicle stick. The Muffin tin still
looks new, but it now lives in my garage and not the kitchen...

But… how do they get the Teflon to stick to the muffin tin – especially if Pro-Seal won't stick to it? <grin>
