<VV> CORVAIR CARDBOARD

[vairdan at localnet.com]

  Our R&D firm is doing product development for National Starch
(World's largest Adhesives mfgr) and I've been seeing how complex the
formulations and processes are and I doubt there is anything that will
bring it back to life, due to the breakdown of the cardboard
adhesives. If you reconstitute the formulation by putting it in a
humid environment, it will just swell up and fall apart at best. So
What I could recommend is get a good quality paint cloae to the
original. I have used Mar_Hyde Vinyl Paint for a metallic med blue on
my 64 and spray it down, it will still be brittle but the surface will
have a light adhesive coating making it somewhat waterproof and
resistant to scuffing. Just don't mess with it and it should be
fine.Otherwise call Clark's up and have them throw a new set on the
truck to be picked up in Buffalo, and you will save the
exhorbetant(sp) shipping.
