Hey, Everyone:

Thanks for clearing things up for me. I was afraid "there is no free lunch" would be the answer. As a telescope maker and astronomer I should have thought about condensation, which can't be a good thing. I was also aware of outgassing due to rising temps. Guess I hadn't had enough coffee.

I have practiced the art of slathering sticky goopy goo in the kitchen, then placing the parts in question across the living room sofa to cure. Everything is going splendidly. Will even have it gone by the time Leslie comes home. I hope.

Cheers,
Kurt
