kaberettExhibit A: How to fix the corks on your mutes
This is true as far as it goes, but it transpires that Walthers is an American brand. I was unable, via my desultory searching, to find a UK stockist. Ergo...
Exhibit B: the M(odel) R(ailway) H(obbyist) magazine's forums: "I figured out what Whalthers Goo actually is."
Exhibit C: PERMATEX Gasket Sealant Super High Tack Shop Fluid Resistant 80060, on eBay, shipping from Latvia.
I am over 50, and one thing that might be noted is that “back in my day” as a young person people often had analog hobbies such as building model kits. I did–and I still work with models–and the glue I prefer for mutes is a great contact cement you will find in any hobby shop specializing in model trains, Goo by Walthers. It is a strong and flexible contact cement and has been around for years and years. Follow the directions on the tube, it is great stuff! Easy to buy online too, if there is no model train shop handy.
