Is she really a he? You gotta ask that question now a days because you never know.  :o

Ask Toyah that and I suspect you're likely to wake up with a crowd around you.  :-DD If you haven't seen it, you should watch Derek Jarman's "Jubilee", in which Toyah does a particularly psychotic turn as the character "Mads".

More than bananas. I think perhaps the full fruit bowl.

Toyah's 63, Bob 76, which is proof (as if it was needed) that just because you're old doesn't mean that you have to be a boring old fart.

This?  :o :o

That's a couple of minutes from the whole film, yes.

*toddles off to get some urethane*
--- End quote ---

Bought the name-brand spray urethane. What a dog's breakfast that made of things... nozzle sprays a ultra-fine very low-density mist that is impossible to get anything but a fog coat anywhere more than 4" away from the surface.  A few strips where I did the side edges actually got a full single coat; they'll probably run. Everything else is patchy satin finish. :palm:

That shit wouldn't be good for anything except to spray one of those stoopit little tchotchke craft boxes... certainly not meant for furniture. What a waste of $11; 3/4 of the can floating in the air, nothing on the tabletop.... |O

And of course, now I'm done and can barely breathe with my lungs coated in urethane, there's a bluebottle fly buzzing around in here with it...

Which is why I own a 3 hp compressor that's really too big for my place because it was the smallest one that would drive a pukka DeVilbiss spray gun which eats 14 cuft/min at around 2 bar. Rattle cans are fine for small things, but as soon as something's bigger than maybe a foot square you just can't get paint/varnish/whatever on fast enough to stop yourself from trying to lay wet paint onto stuff that's already part dry.

I have avoided the Bay of Evil for a long time, but yesterday, I finally staggered down the pebbly beach, & stuck one toe in the icy water.
I bought :
A nano VNA:-

And

A voltage ref "fing wot's for checking DMMs, like":-

All for a total of just under $A114, from an Australian seller-----yes, I know they probably would been cheaper from the PRC, but this way, I have someone in the same country I can whinge about, if it all goes eggshaped.


Here's hoping both pix appear as I seem to be having problems with attachments recently.

Yeah, what I should do is set up both my compressors in tandem like I did when I painted Franken-Cruiser; but I dunno if I kept my HVLP sprayer when we moved.

That said, this rattle-can was egregiously bad; simply not fit for purpose. I can usually get a passable job with a rattle-can that actually works; this was not that. It was obviously never vetted for usability, or some 1d10t substituted a different can/nozzle that was wrong for this product sometime during production.  :palm:
