Thanx for the detailed info. The reason for my query was I was talking to a local clubmaker and he was telling me he uses it for the guys that come in and have to be able to play their club immediately, if not sooner (you know how that is). There's a Nike event (or whatever they're calling it this week) and a Hooters tour event down here and he gets several of those a year. But he said his cure time is around 20 minutes. He got his supply from a guy that works in a tour van (Orlimars and some others I don't remember) who has had good results with it. I was just looking at getting some for "emergencies". I still use 24 hr for everything else. I've got your plans for the hot box, but I haven't had a chance to put it together yet. It was going to be one of my winter projects, but the Air Force decided my winter would best be spent in Pakistan! Oh well, 169 more days and I'll be an old retired guy who won't have to worry about that anymore. Anyway, there's always next winter. Thanx again for the info.
