Run Red Run: First Flexhone practice

First Flexhone practice run.  It was at the same time not as difficult as I thought but also harder to get right.

The doing was easy enough: heavy dose of the oil on the Flexhone and in the cylinder.  Didn't realize it would be quite so messy as there was overspray everywhere.

The lightly rusted surface of the CT90 practice jug cleaned up very, very nicely considering it was my first shot, but I really couldn't get anywhere close to the crosshatching that I had seen in pictures.

Not sure if that was because the Flexhone was maybe a bit too small for the diameter of the jug?  But it only came in the 49 and 51 mm increments with nothing in between, and the 51 mm simply wouldn't fit.
