Looking good! Bend up some coathanger wire to use inplace of through wire while handleing plugs. It saves on the through wire!! I use mine so much I have to burn the paint build up off!!

Thanks for the tip.......When I paint I will not be using the through wire. I already have my paint box set up with coat hangers.

I have been experimenting with some methods and learning from my mistakes.
Experimented with the Envirotex last night. Let it spin for an hour and a half and found that wasn't enough time. Good thing it was only an experimental blank.......I need a warmer spot to allow for curing too. Cool and damp in the garage.
Stupid question........Is Turpentine the same as Mineral Spirits? I want to use it to cut my boiled linseed oil. I don't to go mixing chemicals in my garage I'm not sure of and end up making a bomb or an inferno.
