[LargeFormat] Bellows Repair

[Brock Nanson]

I'd be curious to hear more details on this mixture... I've used "Elmer's"
glue for many things, but not this.  And FYI, as near as I can tell, it is
just a woodworking glue as mentioned earlier.

Source of the article, general instructions/proportions?  I have some
pinholes to fix on my Super Graphic...

| Clive,
|
| Elmer's now makes several different glues and adhesives, but I suspect the
| Elmer's white glue is the one suggested. Long used by schoolchildren in
the
| US for all sorts of crafts, etc., presumably non-toxic as I recall seeing
my
| compatriots eating it.
| For the price of shipping, I'm quite certain someone over here could send
| you some.
|
| In repairing my bellows I found an opaque, black silicone compound at a
| maritime/boating supply and used it with a well sanded and rounded tongue
| depresser. It's worked well for two years now. Saved a costly bellows
| replacement on my Deardorff.
