  The Ekofisk field is a fair beast!  The little scooters they have for zipping along the walkways are a good laugh, had a fair few races on them the last time i was there  :z4 :z4 :z4

Scooters?..cool!!!

Only thing I saw on the AMPA complex off Brunei was bras and knickers on a washing line....only to be told they were not for a woman...but for the several ladyboys on board!  :shock

Whats more...that was when I was about 12 on a school trip...no HSE back in them days!!!  :z16

Well late into this one. :z6
I do things the same way as Rob :z16 except i tend to use Humbrol enamel paint.
It requires no sealing under the epoxy as they wont react :z16 A bit harder for cleaning but i find it works better. :z16

In the end I used the Acrylic paint. I found it difficult to write onto the blank, in the end I was dipping the nib into the thinners and then in the paint. I did not seal it I just put the Epoxy straight on and that was fine, not sure about my writing though :oops Its a learning curve! :wink
