perhaps

    Some of us are not USA citizens. Do you have any kind of description of
the glues you are talking about? Like: "water dissolved white creamy glue"
or something like that.

    Do you have any .jpg's of your work? Though I finally traded a Linhof
Technika 5 I was (and still am) interested in building a 4x5 by myself. I am
not so in a hurry now because of the Linhof, but I am "collecting" ideas,
pictures and suggestions from other people's experiences.

    Rgds.
