Thanks for the reply and I haven't gotten into any serious body work
yet. At most I will be sanding
down to primer, but mostly doing undercoat removal and cutting and
welding. What, 0 to -35 degrees
isn't nice weather to you? All I wanted was a ton of snow, and we got and
inch or two on the ground and
this damned cold.
