Subj: Re: [kl] cork grease and legere reeds

Sorry, my computer just sent a copy of this before I added my
reply!!! Sometimes when I click on "reply" the goofy machine
thinks it's supposed to SEND it already. Sorry about that :-(
Anyway, I checked out the website for Doctor Slick, and
noticed an interesting comment about how CORK
GREASE can disolve the glue that holds the corks on....Hmm,
interesting.
Now I'm wondering if this STP oil treatment that I have been
using actually has more in common with this synthetic "Dr. Slick"
product?
Someone out there could probably explain what "olefin copolymer"
( found in the little blue bottle of STP I have in front of me here) is?
