Hi all, part way through this very challenging scratch build , chassis is completed and all 4 sides to the wagon are built . Now for the riviting part this shows just one hours worth or 1/4 of one side riveted with water filter beads , I hope to have this ready for perth cheers ian  |

Oh piffle. You have my most since sympathy as one who has done it several times (roughly every time I open a new bottle).
May be a liitle late to suggest this, but had you thought of gluing the top from a tin of hairspray to a 6" ceramic tile? The bottle of poly sits in quite nicely and it is much more stable. Cost me a tin of hairspray and a tile but saved me a fortune in liquid poly!
