CA oops

[Farrell]

Hey Phil. Good thing a replacement shelf was available! I would suspect the
solvent for the CA dissolved the polyester resin, and that is why you had a
smeared area. I suspect it could be repaired by a little sanding (if needed)
followed by buffing????????????

Dern tootin' good thang it didn't happen in the middle of the lid on one of
them thar three-leggers!
