[QUOTE="user 7806, post: 252503, member: 7806"] After looking at the pictures I took of the guage a little light came on and said if you block sand it then you will be able to see the F 1/2 & E Duh!!! Don't know if it's because I didn't let it dry long enough or what but when I took it apart to sand it the paint was still kind of gummy. I was able to block sand it and then figured out how to bake it to cure it without effecting the cork. Good thing the wife wasn't home to see me use her new toaster oven. Blocked sanded the face, then baked it for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Up close it has a rough texture but in the tank it looks fime.
