Subj: Re: [kl] repairing hairline cracks
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 16:11:05 -0400

my original question included an implied "is a hairline crack akin to a
burst appendix?" at the beginning, which i thought would come through but
apparently didn't. I was trying to figure out if this was a repair I could
do myself (as replacing pads & corks &c).

thanks
peter
