Greetings to all!  I would like to say 'Thank You' to all who have
taken time to reply to my questions regarding use of whiting and gum
arabic as a stop for soldering organ pipes.  Organ Supply Industries
is a source of these, as well as stearine candles.  They also provide
a recipe for the whiting and the gum arabic. I have requested and
received permission from OSI to post the recipe on the MMD.  [See the
recipe elsewhere in this MMDigest.  -- Robbie]

I have received supplies of these items from OSI and if there is any
interest I will pass along any further experience using them.  Again,
I would like to thank all for pointing me in the right direction.
