    Apply a thin coat to both sutfaces. Give it a few mins then assemble. Stuff is super tacky and stringy. Not like RTV silicone sealants.

    Microsoft stopping support to Windows 10 today

    I still have a 2003 laptop running XP that has $1200 audio and acoustical testing and analysis software that is licensed to that laptop. My audio business is winding down so not going to drop $2k for the new version and a new laptop.

    Well get ready for major price increases

    I don't stock parts like you do but the ones i do stock i price out at the current replacement cost plus markup regardless of what i purchased them for. Many things have over doubled in cost.

    Re install / Rear shock on a Ferris Zero turn

    Yes i have. Many automotive gas filled shocks come compressed with a plastic strap you cut off after install. The ratchet strap achieves the same thing.
