Hiya Rhodes,

I use the smokeless type used for cigarette lighters. Its an el cheapo
made in the Philippines brand called "superflash", which I doubt is
available anywhere but here. anyway, I am sure there are local
equivalents. The stuff thins very well but dries up pretty quickly. The
Idea is to let it dry and then wipe away the excess with a soft cloth
dampened with more fluid using downward strokes so it streaks naturally. I
thrn do some detail work with cotton buds (q-tips).
