I always thought it was a pretty slick dodge, considering the anal retentive attention to becket alignment and such among technicians, that no one seems to mention the mopped on glue collar on the shank. The joint works just fine without it, of course, but I still find it interesting. Hide glue isn't that color, so there's some sort of magic invisibility stealth dust involved. Anyone know what? Ron N
