Love of lathes.

[Yorkie]

A bit of trivia about 'rattle cans'. Lacquer doesn't need a ball in the can because - well - it's lacquer, not paint, so there are no pigments to settle out. Nevertheless, they still put a ball in the can as people expect to have to rattle aerosol cans and expect them to make a rattling sound. Old fogeys like me hark back to the days of yucky full cream milk when you had to shake the bottle to mix it all up unless you wanted to pour off the cream separately. Nowadays, the semi-skimmed milk we buy is homogenised so the cream, (such that it is), doesn't settle out, hence, shaking the bottle is redundant. Nevertheless, through force of habit, each morning when I make my bowl of porridge, as I have for more than fifty years, I still shake the milk bottle while asking myself 'why are you doing that you daft old farty?' Then I do it again next morning. Must be OCD or something.

Back on track, U-Pol do make exceedingly good paint, as Colin's handiwork amply demonstrates.
