Testimonials:
“This manual is so comprehensive and literally explains treatments, construction, and things to watch out for. So many of us had to figure it out on our own, making lots of mistakes along the way. With this manual, those just starting out will be miles ahead of those who stumble along and learn on their own. Even a seasoned "pro" can benefit as well! So many "eensie-weensie", yet important details to consider when fabricating or specifying treatments, and this manual seems to cover it all. To come up with the manual was an incredible task, and I commend you, Kirk, for documenting this for our industry. My hat’s off to you!”

The tips are also wonderful and it means that I won't have to make mistakes to figure things out on my own. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!”
