    Thanks for your reply, Don.  The whole objective is that it would be
very easy for anyone to apply.  This far, it goes on especially well with a
compressed spray (not a bottle atomizer), but we want it to brush on with
the same results.  I'm hoping we'll have everything settled and ready by
the end of this month (October).  When I feel the product is perfected and
"goof proof", I'll get back on the sailing boards and let everyone know.
I'll ship to sailors at near cost until it hits the shelves.
  Thanks again for your time.
      Cheers,
