Some black hardware would look sick on a yellow bass.

Yellow is horrid. Worst color ever. I think of the late '80s and all the hair meisters and 'shredders'. To each his own. I hate Stryper.

the stuff works like magic. i used it on a recent refin project when i got tired of sanding. i had spent HOURS sanding and was no where close to being done. sprayed on the citrus strip, and our later, scraped it off, and then bathed it down in mineral spirits. good to go.
