Scratched Soundboard Surface

[John Ross]

Hi John,
I have had good luck in some situations, of scratches, by using a Tibet
Almond Stick by
Zenith.
I got it at one of the conventions, although the company will sell it by the
case.
Zenith Chemical Works, Inc.
P.O. Box 127
Addison, Illinois 60101
It has come in handy a few times for an inadvertent minor scratch. I have
been tempted to
carry some to sell, since when people see how well it works, they want one.
I just never got a ROUND TUIT.
Regards,
John M. Ross
