Paul, I sorted your album by title so the pictures would be more in order.

SPRAY.... I tried the roller a few yrs ago with a 16. I didn't like it. πŸ™ Glad I did 1/2 of it, wiped it off, started again~~~with a sprayer~~~~ Much better results πŸ˜€

Is that a second Yellow boat I saw in the background of the last picture? Was it a Magnum also?
