Hello Bruce, I enjoyed this thread a bunch. I myself would have a hard time covering that attractive self made Meths burner with paint, but I also understand the desire to make like original.
In the video you spoke of lining the firehouse with a heat resistant material to help save the paint, I was wondering if you could elaborate on that a little? Things like how you secure in place or what the material is or possibly a link to purchase?
Thanks for making such high quality posts!
