(my teachers, of course, were the = Fandrichs) The technique is easy to learn. Just dip the toothpick in the glue, let it = stop dripping. Then simply roll the glue onto the strip. That should be = enough for about ten bushing slots. Hold the strip on the upper side of your index = finger while you roll the glue on. The strip is held fast by your thumb. It's = easier to do than to explain it in this format! Give it a try.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe Garrett</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
