(unfortunately I do not have access yet to the PTJ CDs). Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance. Regards, /Claudia </BLOCKQUOTE> Claudia I don't know where you live, but my recommendation is you call a couple of refinishers in your area, and ask them where they get their supplies. Usually a good local supplier of materials will also give you lots of advice on what products to use, including gloves, respirators, etc. Wim </HTML>
