Is it a better approach go through the por 15 procedure?
I could just get this:

  http://www.por15.com/product.asp?productid=301

I assume I wouldn't want to do the oil approach if I was going to do
por15 soon afterwards, as it would just make for more work.

I think I'll have to do the oil approach though, as it will
fit my time constraints better.
