Hi Brian, I've tried the Ultra Gap Fill grade, it still wick's in, quite a bit. Too much so for my liking. It's OK for a quickie type repair, but I would prefer to wait the 30min for the white glue to dry. Cloth like material is like a sponge to water, when using CA glue. Just a personal preference, not a condemnation. Roger At 10:34 PM 24/09/00 -0400, you wrote: >Hi Roger, > >The thin stuff would wick into the silk pretty quickly.
