Soak it in a tank of water.  Remember, you are dealing with THIN cap's, fast may not be good Smiley

Spent my whole life lookin' back
 Not lookin' ahead to see
 Trying to keep my feet on track
 Doin' what was expected of me
 Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
 Leave no forwarding address
 Before they all drive me crazy
 And I leave 'em all in a bloody mess

I steam everthing off. Longhorn, watusi, oryx whatever. Last week I steamed 2 corsican, 3 blackbuck and an oryx at the same time in this piece of crap. Just pile them in there block the top with wood. Longhorn or watusi you will have to do one side then flip it over. That is just a length of corigated steel roled length ways and screwed together. The last longhorn I steamed took about 2.5 hrs per side. Hope this helps.
