my 9 yr old son and myself are trying to create a wheelstander that was featured in the Johnny Lightning "showstoppers!" series. It is G.E. Shumpert's "THUNDER WAGON" Dodge A-100 with the LRW kit, and we are trying to find someone who might possibly be able to make us a set of decals for this model. I am terribly lousy with handpainting letters, and my computer system is equally as lousy for re-creating them. I only have 2 pictures of this truck, one is from the actual package, and a friend sent me recent re-creation of the truck. I am not looking for exact replication of every single word on the truck, just the real basics. Any advice?? thank you very much in advance!! chris coffey

i know there are quite a few Eurothane afficianato's here, so let me bounce this question off of ya'll. A couple months ago, i bought a quart of Omni clear & corresponding hardner (don't ask..) but i have used this clear about 5 times, and i followed the basic rule of thumb about cleaning the cap and pour spout off of the hardner, making sure the cap is on tight, and doing it quickly so i don't expose the hardner to any more air then needed, i also stored it in a air tight freezer bag, and stored it away in a dark, room temp drawer, but my stupid harder STILL dried out. Is there ANY way, or maybe something i might be doing, that is causing the hardner to prematurely go bad?? I have been told by a couple paint guys that once you open the hardner, you are S.O.L. is this true?? any sugestions?? i hate to keep spending money on hardner if i can do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to prolong the life of my hardner. BTW, this also happend to my martin senoir eurothane as well. Thanks so much in advance!! chris coffey
