That's what a lot of the guys on the SPI forum say too. Starting with 600 scares me a bit though since I only put on 4 coats of clear. I reduced the clear 5% more in order to get it to lay a little more slick too. The instructions with these polycarbonate blocking tools from Linear say to start out with 800. I did a test with these blocks starting with 1000 using guide coat and it seemed to work well too.

Looking online at personality descriptions, I'd say she kind of fits a Border Collie a lot more than a Scottish Terrier. Could be another type of Terrier though but it must be a type with shorter legs. Maybe a Westie. Anyway, she seems to have the makings of turning out to be a great dog for us but right now her energy it sometimes is a bit exhausting.
