[WWI] Gloss and flat finishes

[John Huggins]

I agree with the comments about the Polly Scale (old Polly s and  
AeroMaster is the same thing) clear flat.  It can also be mixed with  
Future (now Pledge) for any finish from dead float to high gloss.

Gunze clear flat is a good alternative.  In addition, their Flat Base  
can be added to any of their gloss colors to obtain a flat version.   
Do Not try to spray Flat Base on as a flat finish, disastrous things  
will happen.

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
