Wow, them look real good Ian.

[Ian M]

The seats look great Ian, I hope that you are glad you got them. They are a bit of a pain to paint up, but do look good though.

If you want a real good pull ring, good things can be got out of black and yellow cotton twisted up with pva. and left to dry...

Ian M

 

[papa 695]

Thanks for the heads up on them Ian, they do scrub up well don't they, and i will give the cotton a try

 

[Ian M]

just dont do what I did first try, I grabbed the soddin CA and stuck my fingers together with the added bonus of then tying them together with the CA soaked cotton.

I found out that its a lot easier with PVA, it just takes longer to dry.
