Hey, Bud

I have had similar experiences. Switched to the 207 'bout 6 years ago and never looked back. I have never had a bad batch but have tossed one or two over the years because I forgot my count (use a syringe) and didn't want to risk it. I don't mind the slight yellowing since I have always worked with Okhume plywood. The 207 is flexible enough that I have been able to roll over ice pans causing the hull to buckle without damage (not including the time I smashed the hull into the ice by hand, that was just dumb). I doubt I will ever use another hardener...I see no point to switching.

Linda should be booking the flight tonight, assuming she didn't get caught up in the word games (Scrabble addict, as am I). I will check up and find out if she got the flight booked when I get home.
