Worth a try!  Ciao Thanks Johnny, AW (titter) and Giorgio  As G said, recommended by Bill and good stuff - a small drop poking out of the nozzle 'offered up' to the canopy join and it seems to apply itself in a nice thin layer. Dries clear, clean up with water. Love it.  iMac is back with its new SSD. Wow! Here are some comparative load times: Safari browser was 11.5s now 3.2 Mail was 11.75s now 1.5 Numbers spreadsheet was 18.43s now 3.3 Very happy bunny!  Back to the masking later, stick on the canopy then priming.

(Panto season not quite over yet…)  I tried with thin tape (although not the Aizu) and it slipped off then end. I tried with Tape for Curves and it wouldn't stick. In the end I blobbed some masking fluid on from the Molotow:   …then spun the ends in a punch:   …and cut / scraped any excess away with a scalpel.  Into the spray booth:   When that's dry I'll rub the ends and the perfect, yellow noses will be revealed! Or am I dreaming again… 13 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Of course, if I'd remembered Joe's method earlier, it would have been easier to mask the dark green and spray the yellow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Â Of course the yellow rubbed off with the mask. Dotted some more on. Not perfect, but good enough for the ceiling. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I have just seen Joe`s method and it looks good, if you are nimble fingered, I might have a go at it at some stage. I would of just dipped the tips in paint then spun them. Â Ced dear chap, could you be kind enough to post a pic of your sihrsc file sir, I am going to chase one up on Amazon next week. Â Anyhow mate all is looking good from here. Â Simon. Â PS posted before the removal of the masking fluid.

I need to burnish down the mask and I think I'll try Giorgio's 'gloss around the mask' to see if it helps me.  I think I will start my next build - excited about it! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Gloss  Do please gloss, after masking because the gloss will usually seep under that 'bad mask' bits so the colour cannot  A woowey copter, this'll be fun  Alan, you s-d now I have more YouTube giggles to keep up with  Life's so short... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
