That makes it easy to ship.<br /><br />However, the viscosity is a direct function of the temperature, so at any temperature between 100 and 150 degrees it changes and can be used for specific purposes.<br /><br />Cooking a batch of glue takes me two days.<br /><br />W.

He noted that the viscosity was not always the same for every batch and the amount you had to warm it up was varied from batch to batch. He said, "It depends on what kind of mood Patrick was in the day he mixed that batch." That left a strong visual image of you slaving away over a pot of glue. This reinforced that except now I'm imagining a vat.<br /><br />Greetings from another San Diegan :)Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967879380103923435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695685403802703716.post-13418931213352625142014-07-22T08:37:02.382-07:002014-07-22T08:37:02.382-07:00Love your blog.

However, if some "younger" readers are not up to date with the famous novel, I quote the original version from Wickipedia:<br /><br /><br />There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. (p. 56, ch. 5)<br /><br />Along with the 10 years I watched M*A*S*H I always thought Catch 22 was one of the best anti-war statements of my generation.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment.W.
