[Healeys] Demister Hose Restoration

[Alan Seigrist]

Oh that’s great!  so the Elmers will still work even if a little WD40 leaks
to the paper?  I will try this.  My hose still has the original wrapping
twine on it so all I really need is a pipe to clamp it to then I will put
repair sections on it, the. wrap the twine to hold it in place.  the twine
they used original is very thin yet very strong.
