This is what I don't get about this message board. This person is
trying to figure out a way to make do with the equipment that they've
got, and someone comes along and offers up a "solution" that is more
complex than the one they're trying to get around! If they had the
money and/or equipment for liquid nitrogen, then somehow I don't think
dry ice would be a problem! Not to be a pain, but good grief!
