Hi Nick,
Thanks for the additional info. I haven't used nevr dull on a textured slope,
just the smooth transparent pieces and a smooth black piece from the police
headquarters. I just tried it on a stars wars x-wing smoked canopy and it came
out fine but I dont think any time was saved versus the brasso technique. I
really wish Lego(tm) would give us more stickers instead of imprints so the
pieces could be used in other models.
Have fun!
John
