Mike-
I remember the article. Right now I'm at work and will
only have 8 hrs off before I have to be back at work
(covering for someone with a family emergency). If
someone else on the list doesn't find the information
before then, I'll try to locate it tomorrow.
I think you had to coat them with flexament or
something similar before you took them off the needle,
however, you had to take them off before the glue
dried completely or you couldn't get them off at all.
As I recall it was a major PIA dealing with them, they
were kind of fragile and I only had one out of three
or four that came out usable. Personally I didn't
think it was worth the hassle, but maybe I gave up too
easy.
