Notes from customers: “It is nice to be, once again, be reminded of
a good thing. I well recognize all you wrote
and, having used the B53 pad, I KNOW that
the .025” difference is significant...i.e. the job
goes along much easier. Thanks,” Pat.

B9 NORBECK PADS Manufactured by Ferree’s Tools, Inc.
Revolutionary, space-age technology.
Invented by Dr. Edwin Norbeck.
This pad is made of high-tech silicone originally
developed for use in nuclear physics research as a
gasketing material. It remains elastic and functional
at temperatures ranging from -130° F to +500° F.
Because of its resistance to deteriorating effects of
sunlight, moisture, ozone, radiation, oxidization and
temperature extremes, its service life is virtually un-
limited. The back of the pad is a composition cork so
that the pad may be mounted using conventional
methods. None of the conventional cements used in
normal pad installation will stick to the face of the
pad so any cement that accidentally gets onto the face
of the pad can easily be removed.

Here is a list of tools by Gary Ferree, for a woodwind bench for most repairing, less than
overhauls. Everything is listed as a one of, to keep it simple. Sax pads are quite an expense
and are handled separately. Clarinet, Flute and other woodwind pads are more of an
individual thing, so that IS the way I handled them, they are here.
I have also, in good conscience, put some tools into a “community” bench because the less
incidence of repair vs. cost of tooling makes me go this way.
Suggested woodwind shop set up
Ferree’s saxophone pads
WHY 2 THICKNESSES?
IS .025” THAT IMPORTANT?
Most of our competitors stock only one
thickness of sax pad. We feel this is a big
mistake, because it COSTS YOU MORE
MONEY in the long run.
Most American saxes use the .185”
thickness as did the Selmer Paris and a few
other foreign saxes. A couple of American
saxes and now the Asian ones use the thinner
thickness.
If you stock only the thinner pad, then every
time you work on a horn designed to use
thicker pads, you have to spend 4-5 minutes
gluing or shimming the pad to make it thicker,
so it will hit in the back.
On the other hand, if you try to use a thicker
pad where a thinner one was designed to go,
you must bend down the front of the cup and
re-regulate everything to make it or them
work. This takes several minutes and with the
average shop time being worth about $1 a mi-
nute—that’s $4-5 of unbillable time wasted,
when you could have just popped in the right
thickness pad.
That is why Ferree’s stock both the .160”
and the .185” thicknesses. That is why “so
called budget pad distributors” stock an in
-between .170” or .175” pad, which is ac-
tually wrong for both situations and costs you
money.
ALL OF FERREE’S
WOODWIND PADS ARE
PROPORTIONAL IN
THICKNESS, THE SAME
AS THE PADS THAT
MANUFACTURERS USE ON
NEW INSTRUMENTS. IN
OTHER WORDS, THE SMALL-
ER PADS ARE SLIGHTLY
THINNER,
THE LARGER PADS ARE
SLIGHTLY THICKER.
USING THESE PADS, YOU
DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE
“SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS” TO
GET THE PADS LEVEL
1. The most practical and economical way to
order pads is by the dozen or 100’s of each
size.
2. No orders can be filled for less than a doz-
en in each size and style, except sax pads
larger than 79/32nds or 62.5mm may be
ordered in half dozens.
3. The 100 pad price is applicable only when
the order is for 100 of the same size and
style pad.
4. Try to avoid ordering pad sets. This is
costly and not always satisfactory, since
there is sometimes a difference in a man-
ufacturers same model, due to different
punch press strengths when punching key
forms. If you do order sets, YOU MUST
MEASURE AND SPECIFY SIZES AND
QUANTITIES OF THE PADS to make up
the set. We cannot guarantee the fit of pad
sets ordered only by brand name. Pad sets
are NON-RETURNABLE.
5. Assortments of 200 pads are packaged in
one enveloped and are pre-made.
6. Assortments of 500 pads are packaged in
individual envelopes by size and are pre
-made. SUZY MEASURING PADS

CONVERSION CHART (The closest standard comparison)
We are proud of our sax pads. Our sales
indicate that the majority of you are already
using our pads. If you are one of the few that
isn’t, we hope you’ll try them and see what
you’ve been missing.
We stock most of our saxophone pads in
millimeters as well as 32nds (except for B50,
B60, B64, & B66).
Measure your pads cups carefully or send
us a sample of the sizes you want.
The quality and sizing of Ferree’s sax pads
are consistently high. Each pad size has its own
special die for cutting and assembling. This
does away with the variation in thickness and
diameter that most distributors must contend
with. When we import a pad we check it to
insure that the sizing and quality is as true as
possible to the ones we make.
Ferree’s is the largest distributor of sax-
ophone pads in the United States. All Fer-
ree’s sax pads are made with 100% woven
wool felt, covered with a high grade, specially
selected, soft tan leather.

B59 UNIVERSAL SAXOPHONE PADS
These pads have a hole pre-punched in the center and are the
standard medium .185” (4.7mm) thick. They DO NOT have any rivets or resonators installed. This
allows the repairman to match the style of resonator to the instrument being repaired. Another important advantage is the diameter of the
resonator can be hand selected to cover more of the surface of the pad without touching the tone hole chimney. This creates the maximum amount of
resonating surface. Using this series of Universal Sax pads along with
a B260 or B265 Universal Resonator kit will elim-inate the need to stock several different lines of sax-ophone pads. Available in dozens and hundreds in
32nd sizes 9 thru 88 and metric sizes, 7 thru 70, by half sizes.

UNIVERSAL RESONATOR KITS
The Universal Resonator Kits have an assortment
of metal and plastic resonators along with rivets
and installation tools. These kits were designed for
Repairmen who want to install the correct style and
size resonator in the B58 or B59 Sax Pads. Using
the resonators from the kit shown below, along
with the B58 and B59 Sax Pads will be particularly
useful when replacing only one or two pads on an
instrument. When the new pad resonator matches
the existing pad resonators a more professional
looking job is realized. All of the resonators and
rivets can be ready for even the biggest jobs. Both
kits come with an attractive storage case to keep
the assortment in order.
The B260 Economy Universal Resonator Kit
contains: 500 rivets for flat steel resonators, 200
long rivets for domed steel resonators, 50 each of
3/8”, 1/2”and 3/4” flat steel resonators, 12 each of
the nine sizes of Selmer style brown plastic res-
onators, 12 each of the nine sizes of Ferree’s cone
style resonators 3/8”, 1/2”. 5/8”, 3/4”, 1”, 12 each 1
-5/16” domed steel resonators, one each of the D28

D73 PHOSPHOR BRONZE
FLAT SPRINGS A few years back the price of the blued
flat springs increased dramatically. Immediately,
Ferree’s started looking for a less expensive source.
Now we’ve found it.
The phosphor bronze flat springs are not only less
expensive than the blued flat springs, they have
several other advantages.
~A special size to fit flutes.
~Phosphor bronze color with a round back (except
flute, which has a square back).
~Rust and corrosion resistant.
~Available in “generic sizes” to fit more horns. Can
be cut to match the needed size exactly.
~Being used on most of the newer horns, so you will
be able to keep your customer’s horn “original
equipment.”
~Longer lasting.
The springs are available in individual sizes
(specify thickness and length), sold in dozens or
hundreds. Also, available are two handy
assortments, packaged in individual vials, mounted
in an attractive wood holder, in 350 and 500
quantities. Order today and start saving money.

Bushings. With these machine solid brass bushings you
can install any size spring you want with any type material
(blue, bronze, nickel or stainless) with any useable
diameter YOU want...Just drill .024” pilot hole larger, if
necessary.

spring. Also, useful for fitting into the small spring hook on some woodwind keys that the standard round spring will not fit into. Leave the needle end alone and
cut the spring at the other end to any required length.

—It is difficult to rethread, using a finer
thread over a coarser thread, as there is less
material available and it may easily strip.
Therefore, this is not suggested. You can
always thread a coarse thread where a fine
one was, because there is more material
available and you will be in some “new”
territory and is the preferred method.

Cliff’s Tips……
For trombone slide bumper corks, buy the A44
Straight Tube Corks. Slice a washer off to the correct
length and install on the inner slides. Sometimes a very
tight fit can be eased by cutting the cork ring. The slight
gap that results will not hurt and the slide will push the
ring tightly into place. To remove these corks easily use
the G41A or B Trombone Bumper Remover. Quick,
inexpensive and easy.

A54 PREMIUM PRECUT
CORK PADS (Sold by dozen or hundred)
Searching for a perfect
portion of sheet cork to make
a cork pad has become
obsolete. Our A54 Premium
Precut Cork Pads have
perfect surfaces on the face of
the pad.
Precut cork pads come from size 6mm thru 17mm
and all half sizes in between. Thickness of the cork
pads are .100” (2.54mm) for sizes 6mm thru 7.5mm
and .110” (2.8mm) for sizes 8mm thru 17mm.
The .100” (2.54mm) thickness is so the cork pad can
be slipped into the pad cup on oboes without
removing the key from the instrument.
Minimum order one dozen per size on sizes 6-13.

NATURAL SHEET CORK
High quality 4” (102mm) wide by
12” (408mm) , and sold by the running foot. Best
quality obtainable. High quality!
A63 VERY THIN SHEET CORK This cork consists of 2 very thin layers of cork
which are bonded over a material that discourages
tearing. It is a good product for quality woodwind
repairs. This cork is slightly thinner than our A55
sheet cork or Teflon. It bonds securely to metal
surfaces using our H70 Cork Cement.
Use the A63 for: *Bridge keys and other linkages of all woodwinds
*Key surfaces that are under an adjustment screw.
*Key surfaces that must glide over or under key
arms or spatulas (example: F ring key on all clar-
inets and sax sliders. When used in the appli-
cations above, this cork helps resist ripping,
denting and balling up.

P32 OBOE PAD HOLE CUTTER
The P32 set is
designed to cut a
center hole in the A54
Cork Pads when
replacing this type of
pad on oboes. Our set
has two cutters for
cutting the center hole
(One is 4mm the oth-
er is 5.4mm). The
four Brass Centering
dies are recessed on
each end to hold cork pads. Since each centering die
has a different pad size on each end, there are a total
of 8 pad sizes available. They are 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11,
11.5, 12, and 12.5mm.
Also included with our set is a small version of our
P28 Cutting Pad. This should be used under the cork
pad to protect the cutting edges of the hole cutters.

This Belt/Disk
Sander is a much
improved version
of our old Z1.
The obvious
improvement is
the addition of an
8” (203mm) disk
sander. This
machine is
ruggedly built
and features tilting tables for both the band sander
and disk sander.
The Z2 does a number of jobs quickly and easily.
For instance, shaping and sanding corks and
stringed instrument bridges, grinding the ends of
newly cut brass tubing , polishing pits out of brass
tubing and a seemingly endless number of other
jobs.
Features include: automatic belt tension, belt
guards, 115 volt 1/3 hp motor, an adjustable arm to
permit the use of belts or different lengths and
adjustable rubber feet.
Z2 Belt/Disk Sander
BUFFING & POLISHING
Ferree’s Industrial quality Belt
Sanders are 16” (406mm) deep
with a 33” (83.8mm) span. Used
primarily for sanding and
polishing brass after dents have
been taken out and to remove
scratches and fine pits before
buffing. Frames are made of
heavy duty square tubular steel
with totally enclosed 3450 rpm
motors. Plenty of room to
maneuver horns. For small
brass, the Z110, 1/3 hp Belt
Sander with 1” (25.4mm) belt
would be satisfactory. If you
work on many larger
instruments, we suggest either
the Z111, 1/2 hp or the Z112, 1
hp. Both use the 1” or
2” (25.4mm or 50.8mm) belts interchangeably. Z111
and Z112 have 2” wide pulleys.
PRICE INCLUDES MOTOR AND THREE BELTS

WALL MOUNT BUFFERS
Our wall mount buffer is good for all buffing
chores, but not for heavy production work as it is
only 1-1/2 h.p. Not for sousaphones and tubas
The shaft is 1-3/8” (34.9mm) in diameter,
ground and polished, stress-proof steel. Total shaft
length is 40” (1.01m) with 5/8”-11 threads.
The shaft extends 12-1/2” (31.75cm) on each
side. The shaft accepts Z56 Buffing Shims that
allow adjusting for various widths of buffs, so the
flange nut is flush with the end of the shaft as
required by OSHA. Provisions are provided to
mount the Z51BS bracket and Z51A Buffing Hood.
The 3/16” (4.8mm) thick steel frame and sheet
metal cover totally enclose the belt and pulleys.
Lifetime lubricated bearings and the heavy duty 1
-1/2 h.p. capacitor motor are included in the price.
Both models are shipped without switch or cord,
as they must be wired to comply with your local
electrical codes. (Can be wired for either 110 or
220 volts)
Z71 1-1/2 hp Single Speed (Is convertible to
variable speed, see note)
Z73 1-1/2 hp Variable Speed.
Truck Ship only. 220 lb. ( 100kb)
VARIABLE vs SINGLE SPEED MODELS
The variable speed buffers are easily adjusted
from 3000 rpm down to 1000 rpm. The advantages
of having a variable speed unit are, the slower
speed that is available for finer color buffing and
the capability of using 10” (254mm) buffs for
economic reasons. The buffer speed can be
increased as the buffs get smaller so you will still
get the same surface feet per minute. A slower
speed for color buffing helps the rouge stay on the
wheel better, making less mess and the buffs don’t
wear out as fast. Color at 2400, hard buff at 2800. See G91R & G91L bushings on page 148.
Ferree’s heavy duty floor model buffers are
designed with a 1/4” (6.4mm) steel housing for extra
strength and rigidity. The shaft is 1-1/2” (38.1mm) in
diameter, ground and polished, stress-proof steel.
This shaft size also helps prevent vibration. Total
shaft length is 54” (1.37m) with 5/8”-11 threads. The
shaft extends 18” (45.7cm) on each side. Floor to the
center of the shaft is 40” (1.02m).
The belt, pulley and motor are totally enclosed for
operator safety. These buffers have provisions for
the Z51BL Buffing Brackets. The shaft accepts Z56
Buff Shims that allow adjusting for various widths of
buffs, so the flange nut is flush with the end of shaft
as required by OSHA. See page 146.
Each model is shipped without switch and cord as
it must be wired to comply with local electrical
codes. The motor is included in the price.
SINGLE SPEED FLOOR MODELS Z100 2hp Single Phase
Z101 3hp Single Phase (Single Speed models are convertible to variable speed)
VARIABLE SPEED FLOOR MODELS Z102 2hp Single Phase
Z103 3hp Single Phase
Z104 3hp Three Phase
Z105 5hp Three Phase
Approximately 450 lbs,. (204kg)
Note on Single Speed Models: The single speed
buffers have one speed, which is 2800 rpm. But, they
can be converted to variable speed by adding a var-
iable speed unit pulley and belt. The conversion price
will be quoted upon request.

BUFFING & POLISHING
Z56 SAFETY FLANGE NUTS
Z56 Safety Flange Nuts are used to replace hex
and acorn nuts on buffing machine shafts. The
flanged design provides OSHA safety for the
operator. They are used with the Z55 Spacers to
position the buffing wheels near the end of the
threads.
The Safety Flange Nuts are tightened with a
special spanner wrench. There is less chance for
clothes or aprons to get caught on exposed threads.
The Z56 Safety Flange Nuts are 2” (50.8mm)
O.D. and 3/8” (9.5mm) thick. They are threaded
5/8”-11 (15.9mm-11) for right and left hand
threads. A set comes with a spanner wrench.
IMPORTANT: When installed and spaced
properly, the Z56 Safety Flange Nuts will
completely cover the exposed threads on the shaft.
Z56 Safety Flange Nuts (including wrench)
Z56L Nut-Left Hand Thread
Z56R Nut-Right Hand Thread
Z56W Wrench Only
Z55 SPACERS
The Z55 Buffing Wheel Spacers are used to
position the buffs near the end of the threaded shaft
so the Z56 Flanged Nut will screw on and still cover
the end of the threads. The spacers are 2” (50.8mm)
O.D. and have a 5/8” (15.9mm) hole in the center. A
set contains three different thicknesses of spacers:
3/8”, 5/8” and 7/8” (9.5mm, 15.9mm,& 22.2mm).

R49 KEY BUFFING COMPOUND A special shining compound to be used with
BR5A and BR5B chamois buffs. Used to polish
nickel clarinet and flute keys still mounted on the
body. White color. 1 lb. 14 oz. (.85 kg).
R49 Key Buffing Compound
SUGGESTED BUFFING
PROCEDURE Following is a procedure which we have found to
be safe and reliable. This procedure is used:
AFTER THE HORN HAS BEEN REPAIRED
AND BRITE DIPPED.
Experienced Repairmen may have other methods or
be able to skip certain steps, but the techniques detailed
below will always work and the buffing compounds used
are the same.
STEP 1A This step can be omitted on normal jobs
EMERY
For use on a horn which had a
sand blasted, silver plated finish.
After stripping, use a R9 Spiral
Stitch Buff and Emery Cake to
smooth the sandblasted surface in
preparation for buffing (weight~ 3 lbs.-1.4 kg each).
R45A Emery Cake, Single
R45B Emery Cake, Dozen
STEP 1B TRIPOLI
This is a hard buffing and cutting compound. Used
after Step 1A or in place of Step 1A on normal
relaquering jobs. Use a R9 or R18 Muslin Buffs. You
almost NEVER use a single section. Running 2
prevents flopping, which dents (weight~3 lbs.-1.4 kg).
R46A Tripoli Cake, Single
R46B Tripoli Cake, Dozen
STEP 2 May be omitted by some buffers
NUWHITE
Sometimes used after
Tripoli operation. Works
best on white brass,
commonly called,
“nickel” (3 lbs-1.4 kg).
R47A Nuwhite Cake, Single
R47B Nuwhite Cake, Dozen
STEP 3
RED ROUGE Color buffing is the final process and the most
important one for a professional job. It brings out the
finest, richest color of the brass and removes minute
scratches. Use R7, R12 or
R8A, R8B for coloring.
Some prefer muslin color
buffs, some prefer flannel
color buffs. It is personal,
depending on the finish
wanted. Red also works on
smooth silver plate (weight~3 lbs-1.4 kg).
R48A Red Rouge Cake, Single
R48B Red Rouge Cake, Dozen
STEP 4 Following the red rouge buffing, the horn should
be thoroughly degreased. The best way to degrease a
horn is with a hot vapor spray degreaser. This is the
fastest, most complete method of removing buffing
residue from a horn. Removing this residue is very
important, because lacquer WILL NOT STICK to a
greasy surface.
After completing the necessary steps listed above,
the horn is ready to be assembled and lacquered. Use
a clean pair of H1 Assembly Gloves to avoid finger
prints when handling the horn.

Z35 PORTABLE AIR BUFFER
This portable air
operated buffer is
handy for cutting
down “make ready”
time on brass
overhauls. It has a
special spindle for
small buffs for those
hard-to-reach solder spots and marks. No more
scraping. Terrific on large instrument overhauls
such as French Horns, Baritones or Sousaphones.
Used in many instrument factories. Very practical if
you do much brass overhauling. Hooked to your air
compressor, this tiny high speed buffer goes 16,000
rpm with 1/3 hp capacity.
Watch the solder disappear. A 2” (50.8mm) buff at
this speed gives 8350 surface feet (2545 surface
meters) per minute. Compare this to an 8” (203mm)
butt at 2800 rpm which gives only 5850 surface feet
(1783 surface meters) per minute. This tool has a
handy lever control and a built in hang up hook.
Requires 4 cu. ft. (113.3 cu. L.) of air per minute at
90 to 100 lb (6.3 to 7 kg/cm²) pressure. Price
includes four R10 buffs.

Lacquering & cleaning equip.
SILVER STRIP FORMULA Add 4 oz (113.4 gr) salt peter (potassium
nitrate) to each gallon (3.79 L) of sulphuric acid.
Needs to be stored in the plastic lined barrel.
This is used to remove silver plate from silver
plated instruments. You will then be down to the
original brass finish. Now the instrument may
be buffed and lacquered. Be careful not to leave
it in the solution too long or it will become
pitted.
WOOD LACQUERING MANDRELS
Used to hold an
instrument during
lacquering with less
chance of dropping the
instrument.
Also, handy for storing
instruments in the lacquer
room between coats.
O4 For cornet or trumpet
O5 For trombone
(Saxophones and larger instruments should
be hung instead of held.)
Z27 PLASTIC FLUTE TRAY
This deep tray will accommodate most flute
bodies and parts for dipping in Z25 Tarnish
Remover. It measures 15” X 6” X 2” (381mm
x 76mm x 50.8mm).
Z27 Plastic Flute Tray

clean cloth can be rethreaded through the cleaning
rod quickly for the next cleaning operation. This box

O6 TUBING CLEANER BALLS
Brushes are fine for cleaning the inside of
brass tubing, but getting material out of the
bottom bow in a trombone slide or other curved
tubing is another thing. A brush with bristles
stiff enough to remove the stubborn deposits
probably wouldn’t make the curve without
putting scratches in the bore. Here’s a better
way.
Put a small quantity of these O6 Tubing
Cleaner Balls inside dirty tubing. Add some
lukewarm, detergent water and shake.
You may have to repeat this process a few
times, to get the tubing thoroughly cleaned.
The balls can be reused many times.
We’ve put 600 of these brass balls in a handy plastic storage bottle. We think you’ll be
pleased with the job they do.

Lacquering & cleaning
SUGGESTED LACQUER
ROOM LAYOUT
The drawing above is a suggested lacquer
room layout. We have used the basic design as
described below several times in different
buildings. The overall space needed is about 10
ft. (3 meters) by 12 ft. (3.66 meters) OR about 6
ft. (1.8 meters) by 20 ft. (6 meters) if you put
the above drawing in halves, end to end. The
lacquer room must be basically, air tight. The
exhaust fan MUST be on an outside wall. You
can mount air filters over, beside, or in the door
to draw fresh, warm, dry air into the room and
filter out the dust and lint at the same time. IF
you can, you may mount the filters in the
ceiling, where they are NOT in the booth.
The room is divided by a wall that extends
two-thirds of the way across the room. This
wall confines the spray to a small area. On the
other side of the divider, put racks to hold our
O4 thru O5 lacquer mandrels. Place instruments
on these mandrels after spraying or while
waiting to be sprayed. With either layout, you
don’t have to open and shut the door during
spraying time. This avoids raising a lot of dust
and lint. The baffle on the spraying side is
important because it creates a venturi effect.
NOTE: All lacquer, Thinner, Retarder, and Dye
MUST, by law, ONLY be shipped by UPS Ground
or Truck….They are Considered Hazardous. We
are NOT able to ship these items Overseas due to
Regulations. Can ship to Canada by UPS ONLY!
X70 FERREE’S CLEAR LACQUER An excellent quality cellulose lacquer. The same
lacquer used by many band instrument man-
ufacturers on instruments too large to use bake-on
type epoxy lacquer. Excellent color retention,
better perspiration resistance and surface hardness
than older types of lacquer. Use on brass, nickel and
silver. We do NOT recommend buying larger than
gallon lots of lacquer, unless you have a very large
volume of work. Should be used up within 6-8
months for best results.

CLIFF’S TIPS… Always use 1/2” (12.7mm) galvanized pipe
between your air compressor tank and your air
compressor regulator to cut down resistance. The
same type of pipe should also be used between the
compressor and the air regulator for a torch.
Lacquering & cleaninG
Here is a lacquer mixture we have used
successfully for over 50 years.
FIRST TWO COATS
2 qts. (1.9 L) X70 Lacquer
1-1/2 qts (1.42 L) X71 Thinner
1 pt (473 ml) X72 Retarder
Add gold color if desired
THIRD “BRIGHT” COAT
Take equal parts; one of the above mixture and
one of the thinner and mix them together.
FERREE’S PERMA-LAQ AN EPOXY TYPE LACQUER
Ferree’s Perma-Laq is an epoxy modified lacquer
developed for use where chemical and abrasion
resistance as well as clearness are primary
requirements. This is the same lacquer used by
many of the band instrument manufacturers.
Perma-Laq can be used in any repair shop, small
or large. It can be sprayed with the same gun, at the
same pressure, used for the regular cellulose
lacquer. No additional lacquering equipment is
needed. Remember, clean gun after every use.
Perma-Laq is premixed epoxy lacquer.
Recommended mixture is: add 5% catalyst and 5
-10% reducer to the Perma-Laq. Reducer needs vary
according to local humidity. After lacquering the
horn, bake it at 200-250 degrees F (93.3°-121.1°C)
for 20 minutes. BAKING IS MANDATORY.
ONE COAT APPLICATION ADVANTAGES
OUT-WEIGH THE HIGHER PRICE
Perma-Laq is more expensive, but requires only
one coat. This saves on both time and material and
cuts down the possibility of spraying errors. This
system eliminates time in the lacquering room.
*TRANSFER TO GLASS CONTAINER WHEN
YOU RECEIVE*

X82B 1 pt (473 ml) Perma-Laq Dye
X83A 1 pt (473 ml) Perma-Laq Catalyst
X83B 1 qt. (.95 L) Perma-Laq Catalyst
Don’t have an oven to bake Perma-Laq?
An old refrigerator with metal insides and
a hook installed through the top makes a
good oven. 3-275 watt infrared bulbs
inside will provide all the heat you need to
bake the lacquer. Set an oven candy
thermometer inside the box or through the
door to be sure.
Like all epoxies, Perma-Laq has a 8
-10 months “pot life”, if properly stored
We don’t package it until the order is
received. Transfer it to a glass container as
soon as you receive it. Store it at room
temperature out of direct sunlight. Using
these precautions, you may extend the shelf
life as long as one year. Don’t order more
than you can use in 6 months.
CLIFF’S TIPS...
Most chemicals cannot ship by
air. We can ship them by UPS
ground only.
Lacquer, etc. cannot be shipped
overseas.

J60 LOW TEMPERATURE
SILVER SOLDER KIT
The J61 Solder
contains only silver
and tin.
This makes it a
much stronger
solder although it
melts easily. The
unique feature of
Ferree’s J61 Silver
Solder is although it melts at 430°F (221°C), it
doesn’t flow until 535°F (279°C). This gives a plas-
tic range of 105°F (40.6°C) which makes it very
easy to fill a hole. It is unlike other suppliers brands
of solder which melt and flow freely at the same
temperature.
We are making this solder available in a kit, which
includes 8oz (227g) or about 45ft (13.7m) of J61,
1/16” (1.6mm) O.D. and 4 oz (118ml) of the special

that rotates to give a solid bearing surface when
soldering nonparallel tubes or tapered bells and
tubing, and a bearing pad that can be adjusted up or
down to compensate for different tubing diameters
or placements that are being clamped.
Although this clamp is designed to be used with
larger brass instruments it will provide excellent
solder clamping for smaller instruments. Note that
the bottom of the heavy-duty slide fitting has been
tapered to allow fitting between slide tubes when
necessary.
