    Nice Do! Just wanted to say HI! from Nova Scotia, Canada... our little bitty corner of the world!
    You make blending look so easy :) Dixie Bell sadly isn't in Canada yet but can't wait to try all these fabulous products out when it is! Love your videos, plus you're such a treasure to listen to with that cutsie little southern sounding accent you have :)) Take care and keep up the good work!

    Hi Do. Thank you for the video. INSTANT FAN! I've never used Dixie Belle paints. I'm accustomed to sanding between coats of paint and sealant but there was no mention of such in your video! Does the Dixie belle self level? The time saved would be fantastic if I didnt have to fight brush strokes. I would love a sealant that doesn't result in bubbles when applied with a sponge.
