...There are a few more things I disagreed with, but nothing that I wanna type out now. BUT-- note that a lot of what SleepyMax was asking was rhetorical. He was trying to pose questions for those of us who wrote/are editing the sticky so that we can address the questions people are asking.

Wow. It's amazing how we let some stupid things get past us.
You are so correct to disagree. Of course #21 is a synthetic. I suppose my mind was on the PRO Yellow I typically use, as I don't use #21 that often. Perhaps my mind was on the ham, dressing, and green beans as well.
My apologies to the poster and to you. I'm embarrassed that I actually wrote that. I guess I also got carried away playing that Megs "numbers game" that the poster was making reference to.
Then again, perhaps that bears out what I said about the product numbers causing confusion? No. Really, the fact is that I was playing along with the poster and ended up making a mistake and, at the same time, making an ass of myself.
I've seen references and suggestions about NXT being a good sealant and adding more depth than #21. That's why I use it as such. I disagree with you only in that I find NXT easier, as well as more beneficial, to use than #21. I have both as well, but the #21 sits alongside other products that I don't care for as much as some others.
I know what SleepyMax was asking. I was just trying to engage in a little humor as well as simplify some things for him. I was in no way trying to admonish him for the questions he was asking. If that's the was I came off, I apologize.
Three, almost four, years ago, I was asking a lot of those questions myself. I got hooked up with an absolute master of the rotary and got infected with OCD Detailitis. I peppered the guy with questions about technique and products. He tried to tell me that I would eventually have to find what worked for me. I didn't want to believe him. I was convinced that if I merely copied what he was doing that I could achieve the same dazzling results he was capable of.
So..............I ended up with a lot of frustration as well as a lot of expensive products that I wasn't using. Instead of taking baby steps and mastering what I had at my disposal, I'd plop down more dinero on some wonder product I had read about. I still have to check my enthusiasm at times, dreaming of an entire line of Klasse or Optimum or Sonus, or whatever, thinking "if only".
Right now, I'm convinced that I've got to have a Flex.
I get this way simply because I want to deliver the absolute best results possible. It's a passion, because it sure as hell isn't about the money.
I still think the best solution for SleepyMax would be to hook up with Rick and opt for a DA package geared toward what it is he wants to do. Master that, and then move along.
Please get back with me about anything you disagree with. I want to know. That's how we learn.
