Well if I had my finger out you would have had it in your hands Christmas eve.

One of our drivers lives in Port Broughton and was going to drop it in on his way home.

But I changed over with another bloke and missed him :evil:

Small world, huh? But don't sweat it, I'm working on the 25-35 at the moment, so if he's coming home for Easter or the like, that would be fine......

.... it is looking good though...... :D

I hope your Christmas went well mate!

Yeah having a great Christmas so far spent the day yesterday eating building a tramopline and eating.

Then I sat back with the latest Wilbur Smith novel until I dozed of.

I will get him to take it home with him the ext time I change with him.

I have added a new component to my mixture and the depth of finish is stunning so I reckon you will get a nice surprise :D

So what do you reckon Andrew? Will the gloss show the depth better than the satin?

Nice work Missed.

To answer the question, one should consider the role of the firearm in question.

For me, it boils down to:

Working Rig = Satin
Safe Princess = Gloss

You're Welcome.
