Default Refinishing ASW24

Rum? Can`t stand it. It`s like drinking liquid rubber. Why not try a good
Scottish single malt whisky. Your working progress will benefit.

Only used two boxes of band-aids on my fingers and drank two bottles

So, can we assume that the R/B ratio of one bottle of rum to one box

Band-Aids can be used as a measure of performance? Try three bottles of

Mark, the ratio is consistent with the measure of pain! I liken this

On to the next step in this ordeal, will be building back up with

n sanding down to 3000 grit and buffing, I might need more rum.

If a low number grit does not easily take off the hard finish use a finer

with adjustable speed is what I have used. In my opinion an orbital is
