Excellent work Phil! (as usual) I really enjoy seeing how you do your details. What is Collinite Insulator Wax? Never heard of it before - is it something new? Why use it vs. some of the others you more often list as using? Just curious...

Phil I really enjoy seeing and following your work... Wish you had a shop nearby. You don't happen to know of anyone in the Houston area that you'd recommend?
