<DIV><BR></DIV>Friends,
<P>OK, we have an interesting conflict in opinion. Might it have =
anything to do with the contact cement itself?
<P>We got a new countertop on our kitchen cabinets around 1990, and =
everything
is starting to come apart now. A cabinetmaker said there was bad =
glue at
one point. That may not have affected the small amounts we use, =
but if
it did, that might account for the variety of opinions.
<P>Regards, <BR>Clyde
