His kit was a wonder to me. First of all, it was TINY, and ORGANIZED. Of course, it helps to be working on only one model and brand of piano almost all the time. Secondly, although he had things like ether with collodion, he never had a minute's trouble getting it all through customs ... because the bottles were tiny, no more than an ounce or two. Of course that meant that he had to renew the supplies frequently, but if you're organized that isn't an issue. For people like me, on the other hand ..................... Well, I haven't taken miniaturization to such an extreme, but I have three little plastic squeeze bottles of "vodka" (actually, generic ethyl alcohol diluted with tap water) in different boxes in the car. Someone would have to search hard to find them. I keep them in ziploc bags, by the way. Whoever invented ziploc bags deserves our thanks. Susan
