[R-390] Slippery stuff

[Al Parker]

Hi Bob,
	Sad set of circumstances up there.  NC State run ABC stores carry it, 
I've had some for 10 yrs +-, still have some of the first pint left. 
IIRC, less than $12 for a pint, maybe less than 10.
	I suspect Isopropanol would do just the same.  "Iso-Propyl Alcohol" 
Might not be much easier to get, probably from a chemical supply place.
	I could get you a pint, but shipping would be only a bit less than 
online, probably.
73,
