To whom,
I've always liked the good old glue pot hide glue for felt and leather work.
When the next guy has to replace something some day, I'd like him/her to
think kindly of me for using a reversable glue. I'd rather be cursed for
something I said, than something I did. <G> Besides, you don't glue yourself
to things quite as permanently with the dead cows. It will make your eyes
water though, if you keep it in the pot too long.
