I think I have seen this combo at 19.99, but I don't have the add with me. These will save you some heartache when doing your covering. I am not an expert, but covering doesn't need to be too difficult if you spend some time figuring out how you are going to approach it. Take your time, be slow and very methodical, this is not an area that you want to rush. Watch the videos, they are a wonderful sampe of how to do things the right way. I learned so much from them (sticky at the top of this forum).
Good luck and keep asking questions as you get your kit and begin building.
