A customer watched me repair some dog damaged (deep scratches) legs on a table. He got called to the phone and came back when I was done. "Wow, I can't believe it, that damage is INVISIBLE." Without even thinking much, I said, "Nope, invisibility is something you see on the Sci Fi channel. What I do is all about CAMOFLOUGE." Need a little camoflouge on your furniture? Let's see what I can make "go away" for you. - Darrel
