Re: Pleasant surprise included with my last order

Ordered an adjustable stop collar & received this along with it. It’s just a mini bottle but thought it was a nice gesture. The Titebond folks brought a boatload of those to Dayton as giveaways for last year’s Makers Event at Shopsmith headquarters. I imagine there were some leftovers that are ...
