Nice work matey.

I'm just about on top of the 57 shells I had to paint (which turned into about 68ish by the time I started to paint 'em!)
Think I've got about 10 left from that batch with another 20 odd waiting for masking etc.

It's hard work all these shells.

My record is 13....in a day!

Think I totalled about 30 that week.
But that was last year. Not done it since.

Sort of averaging around 3-4 a day at the moment. Just taking it steady.

The thing I'm finding a problem at the moment is the paint not 'curing' properly.
It seems ok when I've painted them, and dried them. But when they arrive with the customer, some haven't cured properly and the paint rubs off in places.

I think its just a simple as that though, its not fully cured (hardened) and putting the shells back into the bags to send back is just holding the moisture in.
I think its also down to the low temp's too, being winter and all.

Put a delivery note in tel, keep stored in a warm dry area for 12 hours to avoid dissopointment, like you say, winter and crap weather doesnt help anything, especially my work rate

you could buy an absolutely massive amount of leather shoes and use the silica bags out of the boxes?
