Hi Martin,

Good idea with the Hammerite. I suppose you could scuff it a bit with 
some scotchbrite after it's dried to take the sheen off.

Do you have a web link to Interior Trim in Belfast?

As for the dehumidifier, it has a 'humidistat' so you can control the 
humidity to what you want. It's just a bit of trial and error of what 
setting you have it on. It's a pity I couldn't rent the hangar I'm 
working in as its cleared for dehumidified aircraft storage and will 
soon be mostly vacant as we move hangars. Also how many car storage 
firms could advertise having an armed guard!? Doubt I could afford it 
though :)

Anyone going to the big autojumble at the NEC on sunday? (not big as 
in Beaulieu though! Phew!)

Regs,

Si
