Finally, it has stopped raining. I jumped in yesterday as soon as the sun came out and rendered the dome. This armawall stuff is quite odd, it's like super thick paint with fine gravel in it but it sticks like crazy. I got some on the wood and it's very difficult to get it off once it's gone off.

I started running out so it's a bit thin bottom right of the shutter but all the joints are sealed and I don't want to fork out for more of the stuff, off the shelf it's not cheap. Strangely enough, it's fexible when set. You can knock on it and it's solid as, but if you push a triangle, you can feel it flex. Obviously it's not as smooth as I wanted so I won't be doing this for a living but he top shield coat seems to fill all the pits and smooths it out a lot.

I sanded off the shutter wood as best I could and painted some of it and it's joint with the dome render and it's obvious the top shield works best on the render. Tomorrow I'll paint the lot, if it keeps clear and I don't have a roaring hang over

Happy New Year
