I am not good at forgetting about detail, but I shall take you as my mentor... after all, if it works as well as this it's a skill well worth acquiring.

I, too, tend to jump in[pardon the boat pun!!!] with both feet when painting wc of boats and harbours. Usually best not to overthink things!!

I must admit I'm like Robert on here, I'm not good at forgetting detail either. Maybe you have started something here Alan!
