yeah but their is no rubber coating on them,and you have to spray them with copper coat and sometimes have to take them apart by the rivits and spray between the layers and sometimes they still leak,you also have to run them on a super fine finish.some guys get lucky and dont spray and dont use correct finish,but i dont trust and im not that lucky.cometic specifies not to spray them as well,what a crock!!
now on the other hand,mls felpro,they are rubberized and you don't need such a fine finish and you dont have to take apart and spray the layers and they never leak and they are proven as well and they will be cheaper than cometic.i am so happy,you dont even know!!!!!
