In fairness - I can't find fels naptha - I use Ivory soap instead - but I sit down infront of the boob tube with the soap, a bowl, and my pocket knife. The potato peeler sounds like a good idea to me. I think I'll try that next.
I did the potato peeler (without even reading this thread) and it works just great. I throw my "peels" into the blender with some borax, and it blends nicely.
Okay, just went back and read some of the previous posts - y'all are nuts!
