Thank
you for your suggestions. Certainly there are varied opinions on the =
best
course of action, but a common thread seems to point to a somewhat =
unevenness
in the centers after alc-water treatment. With two visits necessary for
application and final adjustments, It occurs to me that reaming and =
repining in
one visit may result in more consistantancy in essentially the =
same time.
I have the Don M. reamers and can move right along once the correct =
reamer-
center pin combination is established. </span></font></p>

Also,
I have not bought methanol in some time --- used to get in the Pharmacy =
but
heard it was no longer available there. Suggestions on where to =
purchase? I
assume 50% mix of alc- water is correct.</span></font></p>

I
had an old timer suggest Vodka if methanol is unavailable. Looks a =
little funny
when you carry a vodka bottle in from the car though!.Comments welcome. =
