Thanks PaulD708 got in touch with the Oracle of all things painty and his wisdom has shown me the path down which I must tread,going to get the proper stuff for the gun and wait until summer comes.
Thanks for all the advice from the clinic members it all helps.
Cheers Mr B

If you need to ask advice, get someone who knows what they're doing to do it.
I learned that a long time ago.
Sometimes it's good to pretend though - especially with people who know bugger all. Such fun before I retired. :lol:

I think it helps to share your experience whilst you are learning yourself and not be afraid to admit when you do daft stuff, then everyone benefits. I believe in learning by doing. This works particularly well for brain surgeons and airline pilots :lol:
