Thanks everyone..
I am usingetch primer and enamel paint followed by a clear laquer.

I dont think I am going to oven bake it besides the heat of the boiler will do a good job anyway.

But this was worth a good discussion.

Hi all

I am just painting the bass cleading on my boiler. I have notice in passing at various places over the internet people have mentioned "Baking the paint on" in an domestic oven.

I assume this helps bond the paint to the metal better? Quicker?

Does anyone here do it? for how long do you bake the paint? how hot? is it worth it? I have tried googling this but not found any answers.

harsh comments in here for a typo and quick post I made...

Came back to make a correction.. my collect chuck runs 6 thou excentric runout. (got my imperial and metric mixed up again)
Its still a lot for a collet chuck without a collet fitted.

To be honest i have one. it is spectaculary made. but!!! i get 20 thou run out off mine and thats without a collet fitted..
I suspect tthat can't be due to the collet holder as it is made so well.. not sure where to look next at improving it but thought I should bring it up. I was going to make one myself but bought this instead.
Just some food for thought.

does anyone identify how this rolling road is constructed?
it would appear the bar is inline and perhaps bearings inset into it?

I am building my own rolling road and like the concept as the space under the loco is not blocked with a spacer.
