This is an opinion of just a member, not a paid endoresment!

Our "Country Painting" Video (VCR) features our Country Painting "Specialist", Lois Tucker, as the instructor. It is out first featured production in our "Master's Series" teaching video's. This is a video you will want to add to your decorative painting library.

You can access the store at <http://stores.ebay.com/HSEAD-Store> (tell your friends!).   However, we suggest that members continue to order from the Store page on our own web site, to get the member's discount......

Two times now I have waited until the varnish was probably a bit beyond the optimun time to stencil, but the powders went on beautifully and I got a perfect sheen...with no powder sifting under the stencils.  However, after the varnish was completely dry,(a day later) I wiped off the surface with a damp cloth and let that dry. When I varnished it again for the next step all the previous stenciled powders came off with the fresh varni.....
