Painting the horn in my way the old joke come me. Question: how a woman can detect that she is fat? Answer: when she laying in a beach in her swimming suite the people from Greenpeace are trying to push her back to the water.  That was pretty much how I felt about myself when I was trying to rich the last sections….

Ironically this morning I woke up at 5AM, after watching the US Open final up to 2.30 and what any “sane” person would do after they wake up? Right, painting the horn before leaving to work at 6AM. When I just woke up it suddenly hit me how I can stick myself into the horn. What I did was passing throw the horn’s throat a rope with nuts and use it as something  sort of horizontal ladder I was able to “clime” or to punch myself deep into the belly of the horn where I was able to use a regular grove-brash.

A note to followers.  The 7” throat is small but it is still semi-manageable. If you go for let say 5” then you first sections would be even smaller and longer. So, think deep and foreseeingly how to sand/prime/paint those narrow openings before it will become ugly. 
 
BTW, there is a change that the quality of my paint would be less relevant as I might stretch a semi-transparent screen over the horn mouth, it will not be non- transparent screen but rather something like women stockings – translucent but a bit defusing. This way I will be able to get some light from the horn but prevent dust go inside… In fact I think about an insertable light frame with pantyhose fabric (nylon and microdeniers blend) that will be placed in the mouth of the horn. Well, I hope to see the times when the dust filter will be my the only problem….
