True confessions ... and a warning. I used Hot Stuff CA on a grand bridge. Used their long, thin plastic applicator tubes. When I was finished, I didn't want the CA to dry and clog the tube. Thought(?) I'd just blow it on through. Put the fat end to the lips ... Do I need to continue? Didn't actually form a permanent kiss but there was just enough on there to be activated by the old lip-spit accelerator and form interesting crusty white ... oh, never mind. I was going to file this under "stupid things never to do again," but all five of those file cabinets are already full.

I used Vaseline and it worked great!!!! No problems whatsoever! I did change my method a bit, but still no problems on the second dousing! The first dousing brought most of the 50 inch/pound tuning pins up to 100. The second dousing was for those who didn't make the 100 inch/pound criteria. Again, Much thanks! (boy, that's nasty stufff!) BTW, it attacks plate finish, somewhat. :-( Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay!
