[GreenKeys] Model 33 Hood/Window Restoration Tips/Hints

[Chris Elmquist]

Hi Dave--

Sure does help.  Thank you very much.

I looked up the Loctite #3926 and for us mere mortals, it is roughly $478
a tube :-)   So, I will become better friends with my dentist or someone
else in the medical field to pull that one off.

Great stuff.  Thanks again,

Chris NØJCF

Actually we use a number of Loctite light-cure adhesives in the assembly of our medical products, so I contacted our Loctite rep and asked him for a sample of their best product for bonding dissimilar plastics and he gave me a free tube.
