You're most welcome Ed! Let me know how the Coverall works for you. 
That's one I haven't tried yet. Suppliers are often very generous and we 
get a lot of samples thrown our way here. It's a great way to go to see 
if you like their products well enough to buy the larger quantities. One 
time a silicone RTV manufacturer sent us a 5 gallon sample! Unbelievable!

Best of luck on your projects Ed!

Cheers,
