[NJARC] tube base repair

[Al Klase]

Don't know.  That's why I asked.  This is an ages old problem, and I've 
never been really happy with the things I've tried.  I usually revert to 
the 1930's technique of wrapping a couple of turns of kite string around 
the area between the base and glass, tying it tightly with a surgeon's 
knot, and soaking with clear nail polish or Duco cement.
