"Wippen" (was "Whippen" cords)

[Roger Jolly]

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
