That's a difficult one to answer Rog. I have found that one task that seems to elude some folk, is stirring the paint properly. I have welded a big square washer at an angle to the end of a piece of 1/4" bar. This acts as a paddle in my electric drill and I can get right down to the bottom of a 5 ltr can. Stirring with a stick is not the best idea. Ron

Hi Roger, Polyurethane paint is rubbish. I was sold it to spray my 16H and luckily, before I did, a friend told me to do a test piece as he didn't think it was petrol proof. He was right, it came straight off with petrol on a cloth. It also takes months to go off properly, I left it for over a month and it was still soft. Throw the stuff away it's useless.

I made a (Mk1) stirrer for my electric drill...I soon moved on to the Mk2 after the Mk1 went through the side of a 5 litre tin...Doooh!.. ..Ian
