Wrong. It was ‘75.

I’ve seen this salt method used but never tried it. Supposed to prevent the slipping of the boards during glue ups. If used sparingly, it’s not supposed to affect the bond but I find that if I have a plan for the glue up, and do a dry run to make sure I know what needs to be done in advance, I can skip the salt trick.
