Fast, removable, etc. Make sure you store the sticks in a dry location or they will tend to spatter due to absorbed moisture. One typical problem is a tendency to "string", but the right technique will limit that problem. Your local Home Depot has a gun and several types of glue, and they are open till 9 PM - you can still make FedEx, no problem. Charge them an extra $3 per unit, send me one. Sounds like a piece of cake to me. ;-) regards, Jerry Cupples Interphase Corporation Dallas, TX USA http://www.iphase.com ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
