It'll all slough off and once it stops then you're good to go. Reactions: clm08k, tlindsey and jaws7777

That sucks that the 40 leaked. Glad you had the 20 though. I don't have any knowledge on what to do, but I like the ideas everyone's mentioned about the salt and dimming the lights. Good luck! You got this! Reactions: Polyaddict86, jaws7777 and tlindsey
