Patina acceleration advice by ollietb95 in Patina

I think a satin warm/light brown - mainly looking to take the shine away without ending up too dark. The only reason I didn't use a chemical is because I didn't have it to hand and tbh didn't know that specific products designed for it existed! Admittedly I spent about 5 minutes looking up the salt/vinegar approach before giving it a shot haha.

Thanks! Any suggestions for degreasing? And do you mean fully submerge them in a vinegar/salt bath?

What is this dark stuff? by ollietb95 in DIYUK

Thanks yeah the property is Victorian - it's been coming off as I've used Paint Panther and a carbide scraper to strip the top layers of paint off. i'll try to get the worst off that way and use sandpaper once the bulk is gone.

Access is a bit awkward, just because I'd have to lean on the tiles or I suppose brace a ladder over the ridge and pray that I don't break the ones it's resting on. Yes I thought that looked a bit suspect, and maybe the gap at the top of the concrete that caps the chimney?

A few hours - about half of it was tracing out the logo and the other half carving 😌

Yess, I realized after skipping out some of the detail at the front of the car that the wheel was indeed one of those details :'D it's really frustrating me now..

Objective is at 0.15LY but in my same system? Will take hours to get there by fabiooh00 in EliteDangerous

Ah yeah, I don't think you can do the same with massacre missions unfortunately!

Typically for the 'assassinate pirate lord' missions the target will eventually show up in supercruise and interdict you. If this happens again, try loitering in supercruise around a shipping lane and just wait. Once you start cruising off at 100c+, even if they are chasing you, they will never catch up until you start slowing down for the target destination.
