Unless they've changed the formula, the ink wasn't dense enough for lining and left a line which showed to much of the underlying colour and wasn't convincing.

Guilty as charged. Sorry.

What was the fifth video has been split into two. Has not fixed the out of focus issue though.

Thanks Mike, bookmarked for whichever decade it is when I finally reach the point of having a coach to teak!
