    When I can finally get a few coats in a row that i don't pick a lumpy run off. Then it'll be time to let it hang and cure while I prepare the electronics.

    Wondering if there's any reason I shouldn't start installing the shielding after a couple of days curing.

    What should I polish the TO with?

    I have a thimble of dingo wax still.

    Oh, and what is a "long" curing? 2 weeks, 4 weeks, longer?
