This is actually my grocery shopping outfit, but I thought it might be useful for spray painting (and heatgun paint removal):

HEY! I know you!!!

(just kidding, but maybe. I've lived in Canberra a couple times...)

paint was dry enough to unmask the binding. It needs some minor tidying but overall looks good to me.

I prefer scraping the binding to clean it up rather than any other method (like sanding).
If you haven't already done it, a DIY binding scraper tool is easy to make.

Mine is pretty much like the one in this pic:



btw, not my pic or tool. I just pinched it off the interwebs.

You might know me if you worked for CSIRO. Or if you were part of the Canberra single-speed cycling thing back in 2011 or so.

For the binding, I have been scraping as needed using an exacto knife. I like the precise depth control that your widget offers, that would make things a lot faster.
