    Tks Hammy and I'm sure thats good advice but I'm getting pretty anxious too lol. Hence the reason I'm starting another batch early and getting more ferm containers and bottles than what I truly need. Hopefully Within a couple weeks I'll be more on the page that your on and be willing to wait...

    Tks Dub.. Not very good in ps etc... Live on a lake here in Kentucky so just wanted to be able to personalize a little bit. Just got to grab some spray on laquer to gloss it up after print and to keep the print from bleeding.
