      <image:caption>My favorite brand is Dixie Belle. They have a full line of products from paint to topcoats and primers. They also sell waxes, stains, brushes and other products. The drawback: you can only get it at one of their authorized retailers (which may not be super close to you) or on their website (and their shipping takes about a week). So if I want to do a project NOW I’ll buy another brand at a hardware store closer to my house.</image:caption>
