Just plain old Windex? Full strength out of the spray bottle? Does it do the same thing as Super Soft?

Really nice, John. I like the thistle and clover (?) head inlay. Anxious to see the final result!

Re: another commission and class this week
Thanks for that tip. I've seen references to ammonia in other forums. I'll be contacting you prior to using the new bender.tippie53 wrote:not really use windex rather than water
The inlay is beautiful.
