What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Winters off? We’re awaiting snowfall over the next 30 hours measured in feet!

🤣

Awesome. I think we’re passed the worst of ours - watch this, I just persuaded the snow gods to dump a couple of feet on us in early March, it won’t be the first time!
 
Another update. Nailed it (well almost). The way to go is to use a lacquer paint stick. I messed around multiple times and finally came up with a good strategy. I used a tiny plastic “scraper” and used it to pack the recesses with some of the paint stick. It is not particularly liquidy, more like a paste, so I packed it full and wiped away the excess.

There was some residue left behind but I learned the hard way that the recesses are too shallow to simply wipe it off while still “wet”. I let it sit for days until the lacquer hardened up and then with a Qtip and a little dab of rubbing alcohol everything cleaned up.

You may notice that some of the black looks crappy but that is due to the over use alcohol needed to clean up the white out debacle. I’m going to reach out to @GrenadierUSA and see if they can make a version with deeper recesses and if so, this technique should look factory good.
Last update - this is the final form. Lacquer paint stick is definitely the way to go. IMO it looks factory good.
