Somebody has. I remember reading about it. I think the report is that it worked very well.

I on the other hand want those stinkin' big flakes!

0.015 flake would have nearly 16 times the surface area of a 0.004 flake.

IMHO when it comes to flake - bigger is better.

(Now I know that there is even LARGER flake available than the 0.015 that I am using...to that I reply, "All in good time. All in good time!"

As always, thank you for your kind words.

I wonder how may coats to cover a body if they are this small.
Great thread as always!! Better than TV!
