Hi Per,
Nice effort bud but if i can make a suggestion??, the ready-mixed lume is not good for working with, especially dials, i'm all for you taking on the challenge but your making the job in hand a lot harder from the off by using this mixed lume.
Its a lot better to get a feel for relumeing using your own mix of lume and binder, again its best to use a quality lume and binder rather than going the cheaper route.
Cousins UK do some good starter sets and the lume and binder are decent, its not what i use but good nonetheless. If you need any help or pointers don't hesitate to email me, i'd be happy to help.
As you may have found out, its not an easy task but rewarding once done right :)
Best,
James.
