    Thanks Dennis. Will treat myself. Don't seem to be able to reply with quote at the moment.

    I didn't want to use it in case it ruined my work - at the time, I was up against it with a deadline so couldn't face maybe ruining the work!

    After use, either dry it really, really well (spread on a tray in a low oven is good, or a hairdryer if that's more convenient), or store in barrelling compound solution.
    Coca Cola? Really?? Guess I don't know want to know what it will do to my insides if it can get rid of rust! I'm more likely to go down the route of buying some stainless steel shot!

    It gets even better with continued use and will not rust. Dennis.
    Thanks Dennis - I'm going to give it a go!
