That way I avoid different shrinkage or texture issues.Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-50628940929583487312015-11-03T09:57:31.726+13:002015-11-03T09:57:31.726+13:00That all makes a lot of sense.
