Bill,

I kept a draft of my posts so that I can put the info on my site. I also kept my test samples and hope I can generate useful photos of them. Avoiding distracting reflections on a shiny, bumpy surface is a challenge. I've done more experimenting and it looks like Clear Coat might be a tad more ding resistant than MAS. But only slightly. One thing missing from the mix is Raka resin. Maybe I can talk Mike H. or one of the other local guys into donating an ounce or two for a sample. Since Raka has no published strength data for their resin (that I know of), it would be interesting to see how it compares. Stay tuned.

Ted

: Can we put together a summary of your cloth results? I'd be willing to post
: it on my site so it's accessable without a lot of archive digging.
