You need to get a really good grip, as you don't want it to slip before you hammer it in.

I prefer an 80 grade to get going, and then finish off with a 120. But a bit of French polishing is a Sunday treat.

Best wet, otherwise the paper tends to grab.

well you were the one who asked first =))

you must've had SOME idea in your mind, or else you wouldn't have posted - exactly who was it aimed at and why?

It was something that was niggling at me then i realized that some of those who have joined in the adult humour on this thread are the very same people who either complained about me or lectured me and blamed me for driving people from the T.V.O.C. forum for doing the same. how ironic ( no pun etc)

Fairy Nuff - although this is a different forum, with a very different reason for being - and people are free to say what they like, when they like

i wasn't aware that you'd ever been blamed personally for anything of that nature - if I'd known, i would've joined in just for an excuse to hurl abuse at you =))

feel free to join in anytime - very little is off-limit here and i get even MORE abuse than even you ever managed :((
