Thanks Stan! -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Stan Kroeker Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 4:16 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] Undercover (install notes) Don, This is an unsolicited testimonial for the "Dampp Chaser Canadian Research Institute" (aka Mark Cramer). By the time Cramer feels something is worth posting on a forum such as this, you must know that he has thought things through and tested endlessly to prove its merit. I did a 'hybrid' installation using heat'n'bond on the curved profiles and PSA velcro strips on the straight edges (bass and belly rail). This allows quick access to the pads for the 'ham-fisted' among us (aka ... me). This being said, Mark has demonstrated just how #@$%* easy it is to install, remove, install, remove the heat'n'bond with the little travel iron many of us carry in our kits.
