[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Model Skills And Materials Needed For My 1:1 Orange Hornet

["blue77gremlin" <blue77gremlin@xxxxxxxxx>]

-DOC,
   You use a dehydrator too? The one you have, does it have a temp 
control and a fan? This is a cool tool for model car builders and 
others. My friend will paint a model, stick it in there and start 
assembly after he pulls it out, all in the same day.
                        GOOD LUCK DOC
                           SCOTT
