Re: Sealing Pouches
By David Wasson

Hi Craig,

I have read your book on orchestrion building and have greatly enjoyed it. I bought my copy from Paul Gottschalk. Paul is apparently a friend of yours also. I visit Paul almost every summer on my way to or at the Mid-AM Band Organ Rally. We listen to band organs and talk pneumatics for about two days straight. It's great fun.

I have been writing an article for the MBSI Technical Journal and part of the article discusses sealing pouches. I have had similar experiences with rubber cement and have stopped using it for anything other than temporarily fastening paper together. It has been my experience that pouches sealed with rubber cement seem to always change character after about five or six years. But I never could figure out why. Your comments on this subject have cleared up a few of these mysteries for me. My question to you is could I have your permission to quote some of your comments about rubber cement and mink oil. (is mink oil for squeaky rodents?) I've not experimented with silicone grease but its inclusion in my article would be also of great value.

Sincerely,
David F. Wasson
