That’s pretty funny, Alan. This is the very same substance I typically use for oily components, before the bottle’s seal failed to maintain its integrity. My container now appears like this—it’s no longer a liquid, but rather a paste. ![DSC_1817](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/7/79b570d035dd5bd28c55aa17b18644b1700196b8.jpeg) ---

Yes, I had the same problem. I used some alcohol and acrylic paint thinner with a battery-operated stirrer to try to recover something. It’s now more “ooze” than paint but somewhat serviceable. ---

Really well done across the board. I agree, the little fix with the darkened areas really makes everything pop. Nifty idea to have it removable. You can’t tell at all once the building is in place. ---

Dang, Alan. I tried to dissolve that residue with water before you wrote, because it says “water-soluble” on the label. The thinner would have been the better choice. Thank you, Travis. Occasionally, I do have moments of clarity. ---

Really looking good JenS. Your detail work is terrific and everything just melts into the scene. Lots of color but nothing jumps out. Well done. ---

I believe the shed could benefit from additional illumination. The question remains: where ought the fixtures be installed? Above the platform outdoors, within the shed itself, or perhaps on the backside facing the courtyard? What are your thoughts? ![1000005349](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/2/2188fa6b639ad27cff68c731e8eaad9effe45b2c.jpeg) ---

Jens I would hang a lamp from the ceiling in the center of the room. One over the back door and one at each end of the dock for a total of four. ---

Will the roof be removable? Might need to add a joist for mounting in the middle. I’d suggest testing how bright 3 exterior lights will be. Seems bright. Thoughts? ---

I greatly appreciate your suggestions, Curt and Alan. A central lamp will undoubtedly be installed in the middle of the room. As the roof is intended to remain removable, I have constructed a simple truss system to support the lamp shield. Given the shed’s modest structure, three exterior lamps may be somewhat excessive; however, I shall reconsider the placement of the lamp above the platform. ![DSC_1849](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/c/cc4f8310387192e1eaac108d0474d6c4268b24bf.jpeg) ---

After some aestivation on modeling, I was back at my workbench yesterday to continue working on the lighting. After the lampshade was attached to the central support, the Micro LED was glued in place. Using a syringe, I dotted the surface of the LED with 1-2 drops of matte medium to suggest a kind of glass globe. ![DSC_1853](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/b/b6eb80cc265eefefdc0766da5c3849c11e50c92a.jpeg) ---

Thank you, Curt, The center beam is now glued in place, and the interior lighting works. ![DSC_1859](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/5/5bf9bcece0d2da93233528be8f71b16dcebc4d89.jpeg) ![DSC_1865](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/f/f3afc9ac5a54d2579eba87ca9a01a7c3be364b15.jpeg) ![DSC_1867](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/5/556747332de5ff2b95f27ba0d301e4fc439f044e.jpeg) ![DSC_1860](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sierrawestforum/original/2X/3/3bf0edf1b6c70251b24be18e8bd94cfdc6106058.jpeg) Given that the lineside shed is somewhat in the woods, I believe that one additional light outside should be sufficient. ---
