Hi Dwight;

Glad I was able to help! I sure hope you can get some pictures up . . . We all need them for our addictions . . . ;-)

Now that you mentioned your discovery about the foam brushes, I remember I found out the same is true with the West foam rollers. When I first start applying, LOTS of bubbles are produced. As I progress, and the roller gets saturated, they stop appearing. Because of the ultra-thin epoxy I use and the high temps in FL, most bubbles just dissipate. But I made a mental note to saturate the roller next time anyway - Which I forgot about until your last post. Seems these days, things I log to memory dissipate almost as fast as the bubbles . . .

Continued success, Spidey
