To my knowledge - their aren't refills - just the kit. I have an extra one that I did not open. If you are interested you can email me at seatonmsn@gmail.com.

I am very pleased with the sander. I can not comment on the upgrade since I am not familiar with it. The B03710 sands much faster and has less vibration than the one I had before. And I like that it uses 1/3 sheet of paper.I would recommend it. NH

I would go with Staedtler. I've have tried everything on the market, and Staedtler is the best. The tips hold up very well, and there is no bleeding on any of the papers I use. I just love them.

Besides the polisher you'll also get a "How to" DVD. You'll need to order or buy the pads for applying the polish/wax/gloss. I like the 3M brand pads.

I really don't know, but I will say this... it is ALL ABOUT THE PREP. Some of my cabinets needed sanding, some were fine with the product they provide in the box for use with the scrubbie pad. If I was going to try it on a veneer I would probably sand.

I don't think it's a refill. It comes with a spongy pad, which usually doesn't last as long as the makeup. A natural sponge works even better.

I like them both. I got the Tombow around the end of the year because they were on sale for around $100 for the whole set, a lot of different colors. I really liked them. They are a lot of good colors and have a smaller diameter barrel--just almost like holding a bit thicker pencil. I like experimenting to see what I can do with the different markers as sometimes it is a lot of work to set up to paint when I just want to do a picture now. Prismacolor is a bit thicker barrel but appears to work well too but I only have the smaller sets and am still experimenting. Copic markers are refillable and so are the Spectrum Noir. Copic has good brush makers and you have to purchase brush tips to put into the Spectrum Noir. Out of the four, I still think Tombow is my favorite but unfortunately not refillable. I don't believe Prismacolor is refillable either. I am still experimenting with all of them but at this point this is what I can offer. I hope this helps.

Hugh I usually use High Gloss paper if you never tried Soft Gloss it is something you might want to try. I like the result of soft Gloss and the next time I order paper I am going to buy the Soft Gloss. They are both good and you may prefer one over the other so I would give them a try, Joe

You can use any Avery set but you can also use Publisher and open up a Business sized template which will then set it up for you but you have to select "edit" before printing to put in the proper allingment numbers. Are you doing a full bleed card or a non ble d card? Full bleed is where the colors extend to all borders and there are no white spaces.

Tell you truth I don't know the what the best refill kit are. I bought and used Ink refill set for CIS/CISS or refillable cartridges using Epson 68, 69 ink: Workforce 40, 310, 500, 600, 610 & NX100, NX115, NX200, NX215, NX400, NX415, NX515 So far I used that ink to refill the cartridges 3-4 times so far and have about half the bottles still full. It can be a bit messy refilling ink cartridges if your not careful. So depending on your time/cost and how much you print, buying a new one might better choice if it cost $3-5 bucks.

The kit comes with sealer. I put 2 coats of sealer. One coat makes flat-semi gloss, two coats make semi gloss and three coats make glossy finish. I did it about 2 months ago, the finish looks nice and does not scratch off.

The acid etch solution is in the epoxy kit, unless you just want a shiny floor i would recommend Epoxy. you can color it to your preference and also get flakes if you like that (i didn't at first want it but turned out really good). Also if you are in California like i am - this is no longer allowed all local places pulled it from shelves and i luckily found online before they stopped shipping to california as well. Good luck!

I would use the pad they recommend whcih is the ultimate polishing pad. You can also call Paul from marble gloss restorer and he will give you great advice. The product works great. you will need a lot of elbow grease.

Matthew, just paint your cabinets. I wish I had. You may have to sand, or use a chemical stripper to prep the surface first; the kit comes with a chemical deglazer that you use first, but it was a pain. Beyond that I can't see any difference in what's in the kit and what you can buy on the shelf of a Home Depot, although it comes with a can of this stuff you use to pre-age them for a specific look. The final step is a glaze that is AWFUL and hard to work with, esp if you are painting your cabinets white. I wish I had just bought a hand sander and semi gloss paint -- which I ended up doing anyway, but I could have saved a lot of time and money.

This sander is used to prepare a vehicle for priming or repainting. You can use 6 inch "self-stick" sand paper - 200 to 600 grit. This tool is used to finish sand or feather edge primer or paint. This tool is not a grinder - you do not use it to strip old down to the metal. This tool is not used to polish or wax a vehicle - it spins much too fast.

It gives a more real cabinet finish as opposed to regular semi gloss paint and does not require a primer. If you use regular paint (semi-gloss) you must prime first! Good luck!

Yes, in order to get the cabinets stained well I removed all screws. You need to do a light sanding anyway to remove the gloss finish. The gel goes a long way. I like the sock method to get gel on and it takes a couple of coats. However, I was able to buy a quart and did my kitchen and a bathroom.
