RE: covering
Gene,
Yes, the ultracoat is more expensive than the towerkote. However, with ultracoat you can up it up and pull mistakes out and then reapply the covering. With towerkoat once you make a mistake it's premenant.
I used Towerkote I gave up on it and threw away what I had left. I wouldn't even give it away it was so bad. I wouldn't use it again if I was given it free!!!! [:'(]
