Hi Guys!
It is very interesting to read this things for me, the guy from
Hungary. And I am smileing because here I can buy almost everything
like turpentin, nitric acid(for silvering), or many natural things,
like natural pine pich or so. Maybe that was the case several decades
ago in US Calif. too. But the time is changing!
