So there!<G></DIV> <DIV>Now to the second, (actually a valid question that deserves an answer! Go figger!<G>)</DIV> <DIV>Several have told you about the small coolers, etc. I'd like to add to it: For my voicing kit which includes Alcohol, Acetone, Lacquer, Sanding Sealer, dissolved Key top material and all the necessary tools for voicing, I have an aluminum case, about 12"x18"x4", that used to be a 40's/50's picnic Basket. I only carry it in the car when I have a major Voicing job to do, (which I schedule). The rest of the time it stays in my piano/music/junk room that is cool/dry. The same goes for many other type kits that are only needed for MAJOR kinds of jobs. As for glues, I carry a very small amounts with me, on a regular basis. I never carry CA glue with me! (Unless I find that there's a p.block to douse.) That stuff stays in my 2nd/drinks refrigorator where it lasts longer and has a propensity to leak, no matter!</DIV> <DIV>So there ya go. Enjoy. </DIV> <DIV>AND...Jason......lighten up on this olde dude. I might get a complex.<G>.....Nah!<G></DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
