Yes, though the paint doesn't last too well.


Do you mean a tin of it, once opened, doesn't last long even stored
properly? In that case, I'd better look in the old tin before I get
set up to use it....


The paint comes off hands etc very well with baby oil, or oil-soaked baby bum
wipes. Skin-friendlier and less smelly than diesel...


I find disposable rubber gloves are worthwhile for painting (even with
normal paint).
