    I found that diluting Suncorite with meths makes it dry to a glossy finish. I must try to make a barrelled action oven; maybe a piece of metal box section will do if I place it on the gas rings of the cooker...

    I wonder if Fazakerley actions were dipped and then baked, or sprayed and baked in order to get that flat matt finish.
