Pros

Gf high performance flat is amazing. Packaged with care. It also feels heavenly to the touch. I am glad they did because it turned out great. This is normal.

Best thing i can advise is to read the instruction entirely. Make sure to use the proper grit with water based.

Packaging/appearance

The color was greystone and from the title one would think it was on the grey side, but the picture on the can looked warmer, l... Read More
