    Are you looking at the SHARK STEAM BLASTER?



    IT looks like it just blows steam out and it costs a good amount of money. If you just want something that blows steam, then go get one of the steamers for taking off wallpaper. I`ve got one and all you would have to do would be take the plastic shield off and then you`d have a hose that would pour out steam.

    The one listed on TV Buys would be underpowered. A very good machine (without going up to industrial models) is the Karcher Vaporapid. Well built, plenty of tools and it is very powerful for a small machine.

    Lake Country foam sticks ???

    Has anyone used these to apply trim restoring products to surfaces like ribbed cowling instead of those art store / paint foam on stick applicators. The foam on the paint type applicators has a stiffener that prevents conforming to irregular surfaces.

    Swabs

    i have use them with great success. only problem was they are pricey and if used too aggressively the foam will fall off. (that would be ok if they were inexpensive)
