I have one of these frames; the brand name is "Ball Cap Buddy" and it works like a charm. I run caps through the dishwasher with it, on the upper rack, using non-chlorine dishwasher detergent (Seventh Generation brand gel, available at any health food store; look for the light blue bottle). Works like a charm. Don't worry about the hat's bill being unwashable; I've never had a baseball cap whose bill had any trouble with washing. Oh, and if you can, use a good, strong vacuum cleaner to vacuum as much clay as possible off of the hat before washing it. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
