Hi Volks:

What's the best adhesive to use for our stickers? Are the German adhesives
really that much better than the NA ones?

I had heard that some brands use environmentally-friendly adhesives, with no
out-gassing of fluorocarbons, while some others outgass volatile esters.

Perhaps the stickers should not come with an adhesive at all - then we could
choose what type we wanted to use, as individuals. Comments?

Of course, then there is the important question of adhesive application -
spray or brush - Hey...what kind of brush is best?

Natural or synthetic, bristles or foam, wide or narrow? Hey - I know where
we can get them cheap - CANADIAN TIRE!

Anybody interested in a group purchase of the good stuff?

(I don't get out enough - Happy Friday - and Damn it - I miss Joel's
poetry!)

I love this list - .........and my wife, Karen!
