Lions and tigers and bears…….yes, I’m singing the wizard of oz because I feel like I’m in a fantasy world when I see our Professional technicians touting the use of sandpaper files.

After writing and rewriting my blog for today, I made the decision NOT to post it. Therefore, this is going to be really short and sweet. I don’t know everyone who reads my blogs. I get many comments via text, email and on my blog post about my articles, so I do know they are …
