Well what a day!!!
Second coat of stain, painted the back of the tank and added handels.
Stain is not dark enough, Kauri stain was used and the test bit at Bunnings was quite dark. Wife agrees that the stain job is SH&T.
OH well.
That is the stain and finished as dicussed.
Now the paint... Navy colour, wanted black board paint as dicussed in an earilier post but found a post latter on the Net saying next time he would go with a really dark blue instead of black as it will add some extra deepth to the tank. So the darkest blue I could find was Navy. 3 cans of spray paint.
