Customer Testimonial I sat down and actually read your entire plating manual last night and this morning. It is very informative. I feel like a plating expert and I haven't even started plating yet! You did a very good job putting together the manual. I went from knowing nothing about plating to believing that I can make a go of this business. James Watson $30 of the cost of the manual is refundable when you purchase any plating kit that contains the manual.
