HARP-L stuff with him. I haven't forgotten Paul's letter and am that must have cost some $$. Re: Glue for Windsavers (valves). a) GOODYEAR PLY-O-BOND (sp?) works well. Its potent and very stringy. Some almost rubbery. Still stringy. One stray almost microscopic strand of this Some drying time required. b) DEVCON 'All Purpose Weldit Cement'. Found at Hartz, Woolworth, (are tube on a blister card. Also works very well - and is easier - not so immediately! Does not string like PLI-O-BOND, smells the same though. c) Do any of you OFUG's remember the IBM high speed, line printers that 1.5" wide.
