"Thanks Jim Morris", Yes! I too also set fire to one by accident a while back, decided to give it the "Singed Look" not realising it had been previously coated with a Linseed Oil/Turpentine mixture, with that in mind I realised that the back of this build had the same mix applied, and was a bit apprehensive about he putting hot pen to it, but had no problems. :-)
