Gaaah! Seems like I can never remember ALL the advice I've been given in the past.The one I SHOULD have remembered this time was @ChristmasDalek's advice about painting, and checking the temperature in particular. But no, I had cleared up the shed, it was a perfect paint tent! It meant no more paint smell in the house (which persists despite the extractor I fitted to the workroom door.) Anyway, I lugged the shoulders out to the shed, sprayed 'em, and got this:   My wife says it looks "atmospheric", which is nice of her, but when you're going for "unnaturally smooth and mechanical", atmospheric does not cut the mustard. Still, I have five whole weekends til this has to be ready, it's not like my timetable says I should be finished with the skirt by this point.   *Dim pointedly places his timetable carefully in the shredder*   What shredding noise? I don't hear anything.

I occasionally have that problem. I can usually get around it by accessing the site via one of the sub-pages, rather than the home page. There's definitely an intermittent issue.

If the smoke machine runs off 12v then yes.   RV

👍  I've used similar latches. Very effective.
