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.
