One kit has a quart and is $30.00, the other kit comes with a gallon and
it's $50.00. Was your kit the gallon size? Whitney doesn't normally have
that big a price jump, but, I don't have any of their older catalogs to
compare. How long ago did you buy yours?? If you think I need the gallon
size, then that's what I 'll order.
Once again thanks, I appreciate the responses!!!
