Via the hairdryer method - was much easier than I thought, and didn't take long at all.

Did however find this under one of the stripes :angry: :angry: :angry: Bunch of black hairline cracks in the fibreglass (although they don't look like that in the photo - couldn't get a decent shot), the size of a mahoosive spider:

100 % better, although ive nothing against stripes, they just didn't suit the Mandarin. Mandarin is such a glorious colour in its own right thumbsup J

I was on the understanding that a Brazilian had nothing to do with the style of front, as it only refers to the removal of hair between the front and all the way through the back!! (aka backdoor pornstar look) Anyway..... YoB: looking good!! If i forget, pm me about the surround as i might have something to help!!
