I thought I made a decent go of it. Do you not think the paint improved them?

Am I going to have to come up and show you how it's done..??? Again...

Your only mistake was not putting a second coat on. Really helps hide the slag holes I find.

I've heard that Arbroath is full of slag holes...

It certainly is on occasions

Oh but they don't damage the sea bed they say. Funny thing was when I worked on a creel boat fishing around about the Bell Rock grounds we were getting 25-30 boxes of crab a day, the first clammers that came round this way and the next day we had 15 boxes of whole crab and 5 boxes of damaged crab with holes in their shells. After that if we two boxes we were doing well, 20 years later it has only just started to improve.
