Listen carefully, I am going to say it again.Well... it wasn't a disaster, but I'm not quite where I wanted to be...
It.....is.....fine......you.....are.....where..... you.....are, don't.....rush.
Repeat after me;
If.....I.....rush.....I.....am.....going.....to... ..F*ck.....it.....up.
Another week in your life is going to make no difference on a 10 year project, Pete.
I will bet you a dozen slabs you will never see Larry chasing the clock on any of his jobs, when its done, its done.
Now take a deep breath, calm down to a panic and dazzle us with what you can do, after all, it may be cheaper to ship Jennifer's clothes to you than Dale to get done.
Talking of which, dale is spot on with the excelent advise, tweak the gun for a bit more paint delivery, looks like it is going on pretty dry there, pattern looks good, take that from where it comes.

I'm going to sit in there this morning and do some more pattern tests as I *think* I have an idea where I went wrong...
Mate I'm learning that very quickly...
