Default Re: Valve bases

Hello,
Shellac disolves in alcohol so I have stuck a couple of older valves back to their bases by using a fine brush to get methylated spirits between the base and the, glass leaving it for a short while to soften the shellac, then repeat several times, then a final dose and push together and hold for a while till the meths evaporates.
obviously this will only work where shellac has been used originally.
Yours,Richard
