Hi Ann,

I have been told by our supply people that Duco Cement is no longer being
manufactured.  I haven't found a replacement yet.  If some one in Netland
knows of an acetone based product like it I would like to know.  I dilute
Duco with acetone and paint our skull (pig) collection to preserve them.
If there is another type of product that is used for that purpose, please
let me know.
Thanks,
Trisha
