   I believe Adam mentioned refilling the black cartridges for his   
   ink-jet (as well as the toner for his HP Color LaserJet), but I don't   
   do that much printing.   If I can find suitable cartridges for my   
   ink-jet at a decent price, I'll consider them.  I've got a container   
   of toner for my LJ, but use it even less.  Hey, I've even got a   
   re-inker for my Epson dot-matrix printer ribbons (as well as having a   
   small stash of unopened ones).

   I think the "use by" dates are conservative...  which is good when you   
   can find a bulk supply as above.

   What is this "moisture" of which you speak?   Mentioned in my reply to   
   Adam, I don't do that much wood work that does get exposed to water,   
   but I've recently done some laminating (edge-to-edge) and used a   
   product called "Gorilla Glue" - a bit over-priced, and once opened   
   has a more limited shelf-life, but it does seem to work  I had used   
   a recorcinol glue in the past, but the mixing is more work than I   
   like, and the elevated temperatures here shorten working time.
