Sealing Valves
By Stan Rhine
Having recently subscribed, I have been following the rebuilding questions with some interest. I would be interested to hear what various folks have used to seal pouch leather. Art Reblitz seems to be stuck on dilute rubber cement. Craig Brougher seconds, though recommending a different brand than Art. Craig also suggests a silicone grease & the Player Piano Co's catalog goes for mink oil.
What sort of experiential wisdom lurks out there in e-mail land? What really works? How does it age? Should one attempt to reseal old pouches? Has the promise of "better living through chemistry" offered no improvement over rubber cement in the last 50 years?
