The Hoffman device, sounds like something out of a 60’s sci-fi movie as in deploy the Hoffman device.

Early morning spray session today and the primers on. I'm now working in the morning & evenings at the bench as the rest of the day paint just seems to dry out far too quickly for my liking at the moment. Not complaining mind you as I then relax in the garden for the remainder of the day!
