It worked real well, but you have to go slow and not let the paint build up too much or it will sag. The finish was smooth and glossy whereas the mineral spirits made it tough to get a gloss finish.
Are there instructions somewhere for posting pictures? I'd be happy to put some up here. |
Thanks for the info MFP8055. searched 43430 on harbor freight, turned up this
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=66222 If that's it, for $60 looks like a bargain. I can't get any pictures to load the large version, they just hang when I click the thumbnails, so can't help with pix, but thanks for offering.
