Rum? Can`t stand it. It`s like drinking liquid rubber. Why not try a
good Scottish single malt whisky. Your working progress will
benefit.

So, can we assume that the R/B ratio of one bottle of rum to

If a low number grit does not easily take off the hard finish use a

Thanks for the suggestion Colin, I could never forgive myself for
drinking Scottish Whiskey, I would be contributing to the Kennedy
dynasty and for that I could never forgive myself. Rum is much
better, we call it the juice of the Caribbean gods, many a pirate
sailed these blue waters while indulging it that fine roasted sugar
cane fermented nectar. I will keep your suggestion in mind just in
case the rum gets too depleted. Bob
Do the Kennedy Clan still have dibs on that post-Prohibition money-
spinner? Enquiring minds want to know.

Martin, I do believe that the Kennedy clan still gets royalties on
every bottle of Scotch whiskey imported to this country. Just recently
a Kennedy was finally defeated for political office in Mass, what took
those people so long. Maybe that Kennedy could come on down and help
sand gelcoat now that he is out of work.
