You were right about this fertan Andy, once you get it on your hands its a Devil to get off.

[Manky Monkey]

I Did warn you!
Yeah, the soundproofing doesn't seem to stick very well to the rust proofer, but it's still damp in a couple of places, which is why Bob & I have black fingers now. So will slap some black paint on the area I haven't covered -no, I'm not peeling it back off.

I had a job in a chandlery (boat bits) we used to sell fertan and always forgot to warn customers about the black fingers.

Was fun watching them coming in the shop for other paints and seeing the black hands as they paid. I'm sooooo nawty!!!!

The Black Fingernail - Carry on don't lose your head?

They're even blackerer now -rust killer, black paint & the print comes off the black Dynamat if you rub it too much. Not quite done before I ran out of daylight this afternoon, so I'll finish it in the morning. The soundproofing definitely works. If you tap on the bulkhead now it's changed from a metallic Clang to a dull Thud. I guess the bulkhead's the most important panel to do, but there was too much stuff in the way to do it before, so worth doing now. I should have enough material left to do the doors once they're welded.

I'm told I missed a lovely sunny afternoon today -didn't see it cos I was sat in the dark recesses of the Pop cab. I emerged to find this very ominous looking cloud looming over the garages. I thought the 4 Monkeys of the Apocalypse were going to come riding out of it.
I'll finish the soundproofing in the morning, then treat myself to an afternoon off I think.

4 monkeys of the Apocalypse 
as for the black fingernail, I've had a few of the painful ones during my lifetime, having to drill through them to release the pressure, hurts just thinking about it 

[Manky Monkey]

*wince*
Yeah, I think they're like the 7 dwarfs -Manky, Greasy, Grubby ...Stinkey

[Manky Monkey]

Yeah, I know I keep posting photos that don't look any different, but that's the bulkhead done -unwanted bits of old panel cut away, rust proofed, painted & soundproofed. Also added a skim of filler down the door pillars to tidy them up a bit. That'll do for today -I am on holiday after all Heading home to try & scrub my hands clean.

[Stix]

Its all progress Andy and soon be ready for the wiring and Mot.

[Dslam]

You might not see it Andy but some real progress is being made. It is worth it when its done and everyone drools over your creation.
For a non engineer I think you have managed exceptionally well.

[Manky Monkey]

Heh heh! Yeah, my Dad used to say as a bike mechanic I made a great dustman.

Went for a random drive this afternoon & ended up in Oxford. Wandered along the canal, then back through the city centre.
Snapped this shot of the sunset illuminating a spire with my phone, from the window of the Park n Ride bus as we went past.

[the coppersmith]

There's a message there somewhere      Great shot by the way.
