[TR] The time has come... TR3 back from Body Shop

[Carl TR]

As I said - HF would not necessarily be my final choice.  They just happen 
to be local and have four types available to look at for comparison.   It 
can sometimes be difficult to make a decision on just a web page or catalog.

My question is what are the advantages/disadvantages of the different 
configurations.
1) regular gun/canister setup
2) gravity feed
3) gun/hose/canister setup

Thank you for your comments.  I had not thought of TCP but Eastwood was 
already on my list to checkout.
