PRODUCT REVIEWS
- I like this kit
- I really wish this beginner kit had also had whatever it is you have for smoothing out the masa, I see you do have something, just can't figure out what it is...that was my only complaint on my first try was the lumpy masa - thinner, smoother application would have made even my first attempt IDEAL but I still passed some out to my single vetran neighbors
