Working with faceplates is just too much trouble, and a lot of the
techniques used for centering and holding are imitations of what a chuck
does.

So much for rec.crafts.roofing. It was a poor can opener.

your opinions re the characteristics of various glues and adhesives used

glue guns from craft shops satisfactory for holding 8" green blanks?
