That’s about the standard I’m achieving on a good day - ok, but a little bit ragged at the edges if you look really closely.
So my Ebay order is for a 10A blade, a job- lot of patience and a steady hand.

That's right! I can only really do this sort of stuff when I've had a good nights sleep and no coffee, that goes double for luglining. I reckon the best thing for luglining is a needle type car touch-up pen, like thisDavid9694 wrote: ↑4 Dec 2021, 9:39am That’s really good, Andy. So if I’ve got the shoreline references right, having painted the lug area and let it get well truly dry, you’re wrapping the lugs with the tape as simply and cleanly as you can, I’m guessing then tracing the line of the lug and pressing with a finger the overhanging tape down part-way and then allowing the blade to follow the edge of the lug to give a nice clean line?
As regards the vertical edge of the lug, I’m happy for that to receive the main colour, so long as I achieve a clean edge.
Another nice job! I’ll your brush and raise you a gold Sharpie.AndyA wrote: ↑5 Dec 2021, 12:31pmThat's right!

Humbrol works fine, especially if you thin it with 5-20% white spirit. The £££ option is One-Shot signwriters enamel, their "Metallic Brass" is great
