A number of forum members have taken advantage of this service. At 60 cents per sq inch, I believe this is the most reasonable price you will find anywhere. This price is low wholesale normally offered only to large volume clients.

If you want to see how this is all done, this is an excellent video showing all the steps and stages.

Don't worry SIX, I do not think too many people will be attempting this at home. The old lady might be a bit ticked off to come out of the bath covered in CF film.
