Just a quick tip to those who have had trouble with Zephyr skin.  If you
are having trouble with the Zephyr skin adhering properly try moistening
the exposed surface of the glued area before the glue dries.  Capillary
action will then draw the glue up through the layers and will glue them
together.  If you are gluing the zephyr skin with PVC-E cassein glue,
add some ammonia to the water.  Ammonia and water also will work great
at thinning PVC-E cassein glue.  The zephyr skin tip is from pipe organ
builder George Pasquaye and the glue tip was courtesy of National
Cassein Glue Co. of Riverton N.J.
