I'd have to say chapters 7 and 8 as I'm new and haven't used the products yet, just a crap load of metalcast and black. I saw a few files in the files section that I think would look awesome fine with steel fx.

I've used SteelFX products before, and I'd say that Chapter 8 was the most helpful to me. I'm ready to move into some of Bill's more exotic offerings now!

Chapter 4 CHAPTER FOUR
REQUIRED SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT & TOOLS

It's not often that manuals give you required and not required...with pics. Most of what I've learned is trial and error after spending money on a tool that I think may help me do something. lol

Thanks for the Steel F/X offer! I've really been wanting to branch out and try a different type of finish from powder coating.

I liked chapter 8 the best, but am curious about the AVOS discs from chapter 6. Have never heard of them before. I always love hearing about new and cool tools!
Thanks!

Chapter 6 for me. Removing dross is always difficult for me. Your book provides some great information and you provide plenty of safety reminders along the way.

Chapter 6 is a good one, but I knew some of it already so I would say the most useful was chapter 8, regarding the sequencing and timing for the various patina's and the snipets describing how you got some of the effects.

Chapter 8 for me. I seem to get random results at times with patinas and chapter 8 offered me better understanding of things that affect the outcome.
