Pin Driving Fluid/Neatness..was "Pinblock Drilling Centering"

To whom it may concern: Pin Driving Fluid - from the archives:

   Trefz Pin Driving Fluid is, apparently, a phenolic resin without the =
addition of any of the typical dryers (solvents) added by various =
manufacturers to create their own products.  In other words, it is the =
raw material from which certain types of varnishes are made.  Rodda =
paint in Oregon carries such a product known as 1067-S1.  If you live in =
Oregon or Washington you can buy the product from a Rodda Paint dealer =
for about $15.00 per gallon. =20

    Rodda Paint gets the product from a company called McWhorter =
Technologies, Inc., in Carpentersville, IL 60110, 1-888-CALL-MWT.  It is =
known as H354B, Product code 207 1196, Product Name Duramac 207-1196.

    If you contact McWhorter, you might find out which companies in your =
area purchase the raw material for production and buy it before they add =
their own formula of solvents. =20

    FYI  Schaff still sells Trefz Pin Driving Fluid in 4oz bottles.  =
They do not list it in their catalogue, but it is available upon =
request.
