I've been reading about John Tuttle's trouble removing the hot melt
adhesive from the pneumatics.  I was just curious; is the reason you're
redoing those pneumatics because the glue failed, or did the cloth fail?

It seems from what you wrote that it was actually easy to remove the
old cloth -- you just warmed it with an iron and it came right off.
Not completely, but if the glue held in the first place, and made it
easy to remove the old material, why not put it back on the same way?
I would think that new hot-melt adhesive would stick right to the old
stuff just fine.

Blasphemy, I know...
