robalo01 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Ok. I may be comming in late on this one, but I've searched the archives and haven't seen this. Is anybody out there shooting swirls? Particulalry stcks? I've poured swirls before, but don;t see where anybody has hand-injeted them.
