“Absolutely astonished with the results!”

“Absolutely astonished with the results. I've been gilding and gluechipping close to 3 years now and in the middle of last year I felt like I hit a brick wall.... Dave had mentioned different glues to use and I tried it and immediately seen the results.... I've never had that before. It will take your glue-chipping to another level!”
