    Yes we are.

    On surfaces not easily buffed with a rag I will use a shoe polish brush. The ones with horsehair bristles. Works great. If that won't fit I've used a soft bristle toothbrush.

    Not practical for the size of the space (12,000 sq ft). They would migrate and never be where needed if only a few placed near benches, even if all 18 benches were supplied.

    Read that.

    I've got the LN versions of the #98 and #99 and do like them. I had vintage #79 before that and was annoyed by the push-me-pull-you configuration.
