Sorry Joseia, I don't know what the problem could be? I have heard of the dandy little sucker scalpels that make cutting them off really easy. They look like a tiny scalpel attached to handle. I hope someone tells you what the problem is. If I ever find an AV forum, I will let you know here I want to find an AV forum really bad. Pls share a pic of your AVs, I would love to see them
