Good idea shansta but i dont have a dishwasher,guess i'll have to try the flame.

The dishwasher idea comes from Wayne Gillard at TPF. (Credit where it's due)

Go with the nifti - as Marty said, that will come up well.

The hot water thing gives the ramp a real "polished" look - that's all.
Why is it called PMS?
Because "Mad Cow Disease" was already taken...

Flame polish them it is not as scary as it sounds, just follow the guide.
I have heard a couple of horror storys about the dishwasher, make sure you turn off the drying cycle if you are experimenting as it can melt the ramps  @.@

Dishwasher first without drycycle and flame polishing after gives the perfect result. I never done it before and it seems more scary than it is. Read the guide! I used a creme brulee torch: not to hot and easy to handle! http://www.amazon.com/BonJour-10101-42-Creme-Brulee-Torch/dp/B00005QB53
