[Public-List] Source for Finesse-It in Canada?

[Don Lang]

Finesse-It and Perfect-It are both wonderful 3M products.
Speaking of wonderful 3M products, if you have not tried the 2080 masking tape,check it out, 
its has a thin plastic like feel that goes around corners similar to fine-line tape.

I've used Finesse IT on boats and it is great - is there a 3M product that 
is crap ? If so, I don't know about it.

Finesse It is available in Canada off the shelf at Boat stores like Brewer 
Bros in Hamilton Ontario.
