Much faster at these since using Phil's finishing technique. This took maybe 1.5hr from untouched blank to finished item. Spend too much time sanding though, need to get braver turning down to the bushes.

I cut rather I undercut bushes to make room for the finish without adhesion problems and use calipers for the very best fit.

That takes bravery! Will give it a try though, definitely got braver today with some slimlines as they are cheap kits haha
