[Shop-talk] Brass Polish

[Bob Spidell]

Thanks, but we tried them.  Ordered 12 cans, but they canceled the order because they don't actually have any (I was 
suspicious about the 'test' in the URI, but we tried anyway).

Pretty annoying that the website is inaccurate (and our credit card company might be having a word or two with them).
