    Nice PRU blue, my friend @kalamazoo!
    Great that you prepainted those hard to reach areas, something I typically don't do and typically regret afterwards!

    I'm sure I asked before, but will the cleaning be by cocktailstick? Looking forward to see it (again) Allan. I used to brave the cocktailstick method, but only with acrylics, never with enamel, but enamel on pledge may be the solution I'm looking for.
