Thanks for the replies - I'll try chalking around the pipes this
evening. Thanks again!!!


That's "caulking", not "chalking". They rhyme, though. You need to use the
right word because if you walk into a place like Home Depot and speak to one
of their clueless associates, they won't be able to figure out what you're
looking for, and they'll end up paging the stores "chalk" expert, who'll
show up and send you to the coloring book aisle in a nearby supermarket to
buy some chalk.

This isn't as far-fetched as you might think. :-(
