gl>So much for my idea of selling little bottles of spit in Albuquerque Take heart, Gordon. It happens to everyone. I was once prepared to become rich overnight by developing 'Nerf' spurs. I figured they'd sell well to cowboys (likely urban) who owned waterbeds. Since I dislike replies that quote two pages only to say "Thanks", I'll throw in my method of handling the on-site water situation. I carry a -very- small bottle of soaking solution in my basic service kit. The bottle is the dropper-type, similar to those used for eye drops. However, instead of acetic acid or wallpaper remover, my solution consists of water and 'Shaklee Basic-H' (R). I can't recall the industry term for this, but it's sole purpose is to make water "wetter". I'm amazed at the number of times I've used this elixir for any number of piano-related projects. The spit thread will likely die out pretty soon. I suppose someone will come up with hair grease or scalp oil for centerpins next. After that, I don't know how far we should push the limits of being "self-contained" on the job! <grin> Regards, Jim Harvey
