[AT] Acrylic enamel paint hardner????Many Thanks!

[John Wilkens]

Thanks for all your quick responses....and probably more to come!  The 
information helps a lot....even the stuff on orange peel.  The next test 
for me will be the 9N I've got about ready to paint.  One think I'm going 
to look for in town today is the "Majic" hardner suggested.  "Majic" is 
just what I need!     John W.
