Thanks, Joe! I appreciate the details. I'll look for those products after I've made some progress building. Again, nice job.

> with a 4" foam brush. The foam brush eliminates any roller bubbles. I
> used just the weight of the brush for that stage and repeated until

> Three coats consumed approxitmatly 24 oz,with 8 oz. per coat. The first
> sanded with # 300, second # 500 and last straight from the roller tray.
