Dale,
Thanks. I'll follow up with a phone call to Bill Spurlock.
PS...this goes out to everyone who contributes to this list.
I was trying to  explain to her how valuable this  list has become to so =
many.  Here I was with a dilemma and wasn't too sure how to proceed. =
Normally I would experiment using some valuable time and effort and =
eventually would come to my conclusion.  With the list, however, one can =
put out the question and within a short time answers and opinions come =
from , literally, around the world. This list has transformed the way I =
do business.
Again, thanks to those who helped with the input. Hopefully I can return =
the favors down the  road.
Tom Servinsky,RPT

  Hi Tom

    Bill Spurlock has done a key recovering class for years that details =
his setup which works slick and parts of it you could use to answer your =
?s. He has a fine handout I'm guessin you could request from him.

    Thanks to all for the needed information. Sounds like PVC-E is the =
adhesive
    of choice.
    Ron N, thanks for the heads up with the small blade for trimming. =
Tried it
    and it works fine.
    Again, thanks to all.  I appreciate the input.
