Side Two - Canvas - Brass and Painting

I approached side in a different manner. This time I cleaned of the metal and brass with steel wool at the same.  This helped save time plus I didn't have to watch the canvas because that was going be done last. Also the initial brass cleaning didn't need the little template I used in side one to protect the paint work. 

When it came to painting around the base of the brass nail heads, I finally overcome the problem Yeah!... I did this by using plastic nozzle attachments used for large tubes of glue etc, the type that go into the 'metal trigger guns' found in hardware stores (pictured below)

I cut the nozzles into different sizes to fit the heads. This process worked so well, it cut the timeframe way down. Then once the paintwork was dry I did the final clean and buff of the brass nail heads using the little templates. I just wish I had thought of this process when I did side one!

Once all the paint and brass work was complete I then cleaned, dyed and shellacked the canvas the same as side one.
