I saw mine yesterday properly for the first time in three months under a duvet in the container.

Not sure where this is going, Roo spotting his todger for the first time in years and then Dom claiming it’s getting hard.

Ohh Matron

Refurbed my badges, I've gone for very simple black rubbed through to the base metal silver then a few coats of lacquer.   2K seems to be hardening daily🤞

Hopefully all your hard work in painting is not in vain, if it fully reaches it's expected status slowly then that bodes well for longer term permanent condition.

Looks good though  :)
