A question for those who reverse paint their blanks.
When you reverse paint do you paint the inside of the blank and the tube?
Do you bump up the size of the hole in the blank to prevent the paint from scraping when inserting the tube?
For example: a 3/8" tube, bump the hole to 25/64"
I have found when I paint both the tube and the blank the hole closes just enough to make it diffcult to insert the tube.
You may ask why I paint both ... been burnt a few times with a great blank where the reverse paint did not provide 100% coverage and the brass showed through. I prefer to paint the blank to avoid seeing the CA or epoxy.
Interested in your thoughts.
Thanks .... PJ
