Warning! Bond Spacers™, Boy Do I Feel Stupid

[fine69]

I've been in the midst of repairing the body of my Vette (http://picasaweb.google.com/1fine69/BodyRestorationInProgress) and ordered the book, "VOL. 3: 68-82 FRONT TO COWL BODY REPAIR GUIDE" by Ray J. Shiro. In that book, the author uses something called Bond Spacers™ for practically every repair. He never really explains what these are, but one would believe they were miracle devices. Intrigued, I wrote Mr. Shiro an email and guess what? He offers these for sale! I went ahead put in an order for 3 packages.

The parcel arrived today. So with bated breath, I opened it. These miracle Bond Spacers™ are nothing more than 1/2" x 1/2" squares of balsa wood. Actually they could be Popsicle sticks cut into squares.

I'm not trying to slam Mr. Shiro - it's a fairly good book and hey it's capitalism (and buyer beware, etc.), I just want folks to know that if you're interested in using his Bond Spacers™, please make them yourself and save a few bucks.

You certainly have to admire someone who can turn a profit on something aa simple as that. You can bet you are not the only one who purchased them. I also admire you for not slamming him I am sure if you had asked questions he would have told you what they looked like.

...Bond Spacers...He never really explains what these are...

Or why you need them. Just the same, the Glas-Ra series are good references.
