Honestly this could be a book unto itself.

Tom, you might want to consider a series of books/DVDs (maybe like the Joe Fugate or Daryl Huffman ones).   Seems there would be no shortage of subject material!    8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Say, Tom, I have a question for you on the current book.

When doing a salt mask for a rust effect, what do you do when you have a light-colored top coat, like say a yellow or green, that has a low opacity?  Do you use several coats to try to cover up the dark bottom coat, or do you use a primer coat, like a gray, before spraying on the top coat?

Thanks,
Ed

I tried to purchase your first book through Amazon.com. The publisher won't ship to Canada.
Please use some one that will ship to international addresses.

Ed, i know what you mean.  I just used the paint straight in that case.  Show-through is not too much of an issue, since the usual follow up is to add rust to the surface.

John, have you tried the LuLu link directly?  My book has sold in 10+ countries, so something isn't right on the Amazon side.

Coxy,

Right now, focus is on the movie since everyone told me to make a DVD.  ;D
