Hi All
I have decided to remake the foot loops that run around the deck of my Tyne class life boat, currently they are all made of plastic and look a bit shabby, ive knocked up a little jig to play around with for the renewal but im not quite sure which metal rod to use, i have a surplus of aluminum wire used for my bonsai tree which appears to lend its self rather well to the new loops, but, im unsure how well paint will go onto the wire, or, follow the herd and use brass rod, advantages of being straight to begin with. Whats your thought on which to use...
