In the mid-forties I had a students' vacation job at the Ford assembly plant
in Port Elizanbeth. My job was to cover the rear window shelf with
leatherette, using pure latex as the glue. My place on the assembly line
was extremely popular with many of the workmen, who used to wander by with
suitably shaped pieces of waxed wood which they would casually dip into the
pot of latex as they passed.

Nowadays they sell releasing agent cheap :-)
