This will form what is called a "wash." I applied this wash over the whole cartridge allowing the thinned water/paint mixture to flow through all of the crevices and cracks via capillary action Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 19:01 Views : 846 The "cartridge" was then sprayed from a rattle can of copper Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 19:00 Views : 839 Almost finished Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 02-Jan-17 18:59 Views : 841 I added a small circular piece of plastic on top.
