You are Welcome, joe, You will see that they send their catalog very quick, as any order (as it travels by a fast shipment method). I baught the nice (regulationnable) glue pot too (22O vt for me) , and I like the 2 recipes jars, one for a little water and one for the glue (they are in a kind of plastic, but ut is nice to have hot water at hand) Dont forget to order the cap if you wish as it is not sold with . but I understand it is better to leave the glue pot open. the linden brushes are handy too, and I expect mines to be used very long I guess we can make some ourselvees with the good linden. Congratulation for finding the good glue. I am still looking, could not undestand what is "sheet glue" (is it fish glue ?). Do you use to glue on standard hole (hammer wobbles a little) , on or large one (hammer fall) . I am trying to use the large hole method, because it speed the process a lot and I will be working for a dealer on repairs . I was reluctant at first because I thaught of the accoustical propreties bother me to have a large glue joint, but the effect seems to be minimal, and not noticeable eventually. Take care. Regards.
