Frances,
Don't understand "about the cat"??
As for the ones reglued with Susan's magical elixir....You couldn't get =
them off with Blasting Powder!!! Heat? NOpe! Moisture? NOpe! Solvents? =
NO..Hell NO! BTW, the stuff sticks much better to the WOOD than the =
Ivory. BUT, it still sticks extremely hard to the Ivory. Hence, no =
Salvagable Ivory. As I said, what a waste!!! :-(
