	Memory worked fine on that one.  Krazy glue for very smooth
surfaces, the arc or flame will burn it out just fine.  JB Weld or
other putty epoxies for tacking parts together that have rough
surfaces.  Got to keep it out of the way of the arc, or it'll mess
up your weld line.

	But much handier than clamps for some stuff.
