I did a search for a painting schedule and found a message from way back in 2000 from Larry. He said he would send ChemOddities schedule to a beginner. If you are still out there larry, could you send one to me? If not, is there anyone out there that would be willing to help me out? I just ordered Dennis Behn's video on finishing, does this video include a schedule to follow?
Thanks for your help.

The tape will tell you everything you want to know, including the exact mixing instructions. Patience. LOL BTW, Breakthrough awhile back had Bill Yox's nose schedule that's awesome. Some of the wild hair around here would rather badmouth buddy Bill than learn from what he says. You ought to look up that issue and laminate it.
You can go to Jim Allred's supply homepage(www.jimallred.com) and they have a link to paint schedules. I know they have whitetail, bluegill, smallmouth, largemouth, etc.
