in St. Louis.  It is truly a black,black which is good but it is not =
designed to get really hard like other nitro-cell products which is a =
downer.  This is why the blanket imprints etc.  It is designed to be =
sprayed at about 140degrees.  It is also difficult to sand as the cure =
time is long unless warm dry conditions are present.
