Thanks! Just watched the weather reports. Had a four hour window of opportunity perhaps the last till spring on Sunday. Report said 0% precipitation and partly cloudy. They lied. Just as I applied the last coat of clear it started to drizzle. Gather it up and brought it inside, no white spots so all was well a little smelly but ok.

House has gas fired hot water heat w/the original furness. It's 60yrs old and hoping to get a few more yrs out of it.

Thanks!
ps Later a little before Christmas I fixed a minor problem on a set and the owner graciously gifted me a new dial for it.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
