Re: [World] How & what to charge for water stain removal
Barry,
It is my understanding, based on a voicemail message I received from
Envirosafe and their current ad in the AWCmag, that they are using the
Black&Decker Mouse, a sanding tool, to remove stains from glass, with A-1.
They may be demonstrating it at the convention in Anaheim. You may want to
call them to see what they reccommend. I think they are using a white pad on
the sander.
I bought a new B&D Mouse, when I returned a holiday gift this month, in
anticipation of using it this year for stain removal.
Envirosafe does have a web site, but I lost some files recently and I don't
have it now. I had found it on a search engine, a few month's back.
