damascus,

Thanks. I'll be using this as soon as my Copal arrives. Here's an Ebay source.

It's nice to see the Manila resin can be dissolved in spirit, as the East African stuff appeared to have been needed to be "run in" using high temperatures, the reason why I never experimented with it.

Regards
Ken


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
