<DIV> Hi Terry</DIV>
<DIV> Sorry for the delay. National- Detroit is based in Rockford Ill.=
I'm
sure they must have a web page.</DIV>
<DIV> I don't have the model no. but there are only 2models &nbs=
p;as
I recall. Each has a 2 pads that hold half a sheet of wet/ dry sandpaper. It=
's a
must for serious rub out type finish. Well unless your really yooung &
strong. It cuts the rubout time by 75% & gets tthe surface very flat &am=
p;
uniform. Yes we use it with soap & water.</DIV>
<DIV> I got the tip from my friend Phenoyd Ezra the undisputed R=
ub
out king of the western united states. His LA based business  =
;is
Classic woods finishing</DIV>

<DIV> <FONT size=3> Interesting idea</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I haven't had any problems with the soapy wat=

gumming up since I started using more soap. We use an in line air-wet sa=
nder
from Detroit pneumatic, I think its called, for all our flattening &=
rub
out prep. It's a real time & labor saver. It holds two 4 by 8 inch
pieces of sandpaper.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> I find that I can rub out easily after about =
10
days. Longer is better but not really necessary in the dry calif.heat. I=
like the idea of Mineral spirits or naptha in case I need to push someth=

out quicker. Thanks for the tip</FONT></DIV>
