[Rhodes22-list] Tiller Repair Question

[Eaton, Gil]

	Hi Wally,
	The urethane might be less viscous than epoxy, but I have no
experience with the injectors.
	Not in the restaurant business, just help out my partner's daughter
who has a restaurant on south street.  It's called Django after Django
Reinhart (Slim might know about Django, once thought of as the best guitar
player of the 20's and 30's.)

Gil,

Thanks for the info, my real problem is getting the adhesive deep in the 
crack.

I may have missed this from previous posts, are you in the restaurant 
business?

Wally
