When the watery paint hits the wood, the wood soaks up the water and leaves a very thin coat of paint. After it dries I apply the stain and clear polyurethane. Its not as difficult using powder and gives me a broader range of color. Give it a try on a test piece of wood - thats what I did. Lake - I have a Dremel MultiTool model 395. I simply screwed it on and it fit (replacing the flex-shaft that came with the Dremel). The collar is actually a bit londer than the flex-shaft that came with it, so I used my lathe to create a bushing that allows the Weecher to fit snugly. Other than that it I have had no issues with it. Kikekeki - Thanks for the comps. I like having most of my work in one thread - hopefully it will motivate some newbies to give it a try.
