Is the top of an old pizza box in my driveway! The 400 grit sandpaper finished off the brass pieces of the Baby Black Widow very nicely, giving them a smooth, satiny brushed finish. I stopped at Home Depot on the way home last night to pick up some 4/40 screws. These are being used to fill the threaded holes while spraying so that they don't get all gunked up. It's a good thing I decided to pick up two packets of screws - one would not have been enough!
I have given the pieces two light coats tonight - the lacquer I purchased needs only a 30 minute wait between coats. Tomorrow, I will flip the pieces over to get the "other" sides. A good drying period of tomorrow afternoon and all day Sunday and I should be able to finish the build on Monday.
I was looking at the Black Widow gallery on Jerry W5JH's Website and when I do the bigger set of Black Widow paddles, I think I might polish them to a mirror finish using my Dremel and polishing wheels. There was an example there and it really looked slick.
