A couple dicey spots and you probably know where I am talking about. I tested every step with my bar until I got away from the cracks. After that no problems.

Thanks for your response. My question was directed to you and not the other guys who replied. As for those guys, there is no need for the sarcastic comments, especially since the question was not directed at you. This board welcomes new members but some of these replies don't indicate that. All I did was ask a simple question.
