    Shite multi

    Any you guys noticed a difference in multi lately, been using bags that go out of date mid august so no problem there. It seems to hang around for a good 3 1/2 hours then on the last pass it tears in areas, Almost like the skin is flaking off. Then usually after that long you can run your hand...

    Mc55

    @themucky1 thanks for that, just thought the kzp may be a cheaper option to go on the keyed mc55 base as mc55 can get costly if it needs a little more straightening.....

    Dry dash receiver

    How do you guys compare a pre bagged dash receiver to a sand and cement coat. I have found s+c to pull in a little quick at times. Does the pre bagged give a longer open face time??
