    LOVELY job I forgot the gloves and its all over my hands after acetone and all kinds of scrubbing. I don't know what I was thinking. I found doing the space between the wall and my floor gap VERY messy, it was hard to aim correctly and not get it all over. Sure it's me, I didn't expect it to come bulging out and started to smooth it flat. You did great. I will go back and touch up with your advice forefront!!! Thanx so much!
