The       alcohol will evaporate and leave the rosin in place.                     Rosin is a band-aid and isn't required if it's strung properly and friction is       mitigated. You can use virtually any non-stretching string of a similar       diameter and it won't slip.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
