Point! Carbon Tet is not readily available, I should hope, although my
mother used to keep a jar of it in a kitchen cabinet, until word got out
about how toxic it is.
The past is a different country, we used to ride around without seat

Glues of that time are only purchasable by adults around here and I
guess it is figured that adults have access to alcohol.
