A yellow '34, and an odd happening.
The '34: I finally got all three coats of clear on the '34. I used about twice the reducer that S/W recommended. 4:2:1 instead of 4:1:1. It went on OK, but there's still more orange peel than I would like. I would say that the car is now about a 15 footer. Any closer, and it's not that good. Oh well, I've got a good buffer, some 1000 and 2000 sandpaper and an air-conditioned garage. Photos later.
The odd happening: I had my paint gun disassembled, and was cleaning around the tip when I heard a "CLINK." At the time I was looking at the tip through my bifocals. When I looked up to see what the sound was, this is what I saw. There were no tools being used, no air pressure around, nothing moving at all. Maybe going from the cool house to the hot garage did it. Very odd . . .Jack

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
