John</blockquote> Hey! We're going to learn something! I have to admit, though, that although other people started sometimes using CA and white glue together after my 1997 article, I seem to be the only one going ape about Elmer's. By the way, years and years after the article, I learned that surfers down in New Zealand were using the glue trick (independently discovered) to fix their surfboards. Here and there, all over the world, small pockets of people may have learned how these glues work together, and just never found out that anybody else was doing it. I was surprised that it wasn't more widely noticed, since both glues have been readily available for decades. Susan</html>
