To put things back in perspective, when I mentioned the word "spit" in
connection with moistening pre-glued flange bushing cloth, I only meant to
convey using the most expedient method of activating the glue; i.e. transfer a
small drop of saliva from tongue to finger to bushing cloth, to save walking to
a water source (which in a store, school or church may take a few minutes). It
should go without saying that if you're finger is dirty you wouldn't want to
touch your tongue with it.
