The benefit is that you always use Fresh coolant and there is very little mess. I think it must...

I just found Flood tooo messy for my needs.
When not...

Thanks to all...

Thanks moldcore
I was not using keyCreator so I let the AUC lapse.
19 was able to cope with my needs, but even with my limited playing around I can see that keyCreator is way ahead.
Thanks for the...
