[TheForge] Re: brill dit stock

[Roger Olsen]

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for the offer to send over a stick of Stud Plus but I have no need at
this time.  I solverd my immediatee problem thru stubborness and the sacrifice
of other bits.  I will definitly keep the Stud Plus in mind and when next at
the welding supply by a stick or two.  I had never heard of it before.

I sure appreciate all this exchange of information and offers of help.

Thanks,

Roger
