#7 . Beware ACF50 on beading. Not the right stuff . Use 3 in 1.
Re #7. I have never a problem with AFC50, but others have according to this site.
Apparently some people find their beading goes sticky/slimy with ACF50, but I've never had a problem. I find it penetrates much better than 3in1, so my advice would be ACF50 rather than 3in1.
Which all just goes to show that for a lot of these things, one needs to do one's own research and reach conclusions that are right for you.
