Tried a different tack. Normally it's thinnered lacquer, cure, flat, lacquer cure, flat, work through to very fine wrt and dries, compound, polish done...
Days of work, that I havnt the luxury of doing ( back to twelve hour shifts tomorrow),and dene wants his bike back on the road before Christmas..
So, no thinners, very thick coats with no flatting between.
What that means is I can get the stuff back to him, he can fit it and it'll look fine, and he can hand polish it over time to glass it up a bit.
Unfuckinbelievably, thefront muddie reacted again just on one side, so it was working to the wire to get it done, but done it is. His colourchoicewas good..it looks pukka. Hopefully dene will have it back weekend.
I did it for two reasons...1) to help a fellow biker 2) to practise and learn from mistakes. Think I achieved both, especially on the mistakes front...
