Flocking problem solved!!!

If you remember, I had a flocking problem. The adhesive would never dry. The other day, I posted the problems I was having. [www.rodbuilding.org]

Well, Thanks to Tom Kirkman and Bill Stevens, my problems are solved. The use of CP works great. It's dry! The test I did with U 40, Cork Seal is still tacky to this day. I also did a test without anything on the cork. It's not dry either. All test were done with burl cork.

Good Jim, now when we fish together in a couple of weeks, when I catch more and bigger fish than you, when you're chasing me down the street you'll probably drop your rod!

Richard, It will probably be the other way around. I will catch bigger and more.. I will have no problem. I guess in three weeks from today will be a show down. I plan to bring a few tricks up my sleeve.
