To what purpose?
Here's a further clue:
This is really just a masking (pun intended!) exercise until I can find someone to undertake a laquer re-spray of my heavily dented/scratched K250 stock in the original green as undertaken by Hydrographics for PRS. The company who started out spraying motorcycles long before getting into transfer printing.

Ah ha……just a guess……forend positioned grip, pistol grip, and finally toe/sling keeper protection.
Anywhere near ?

Spot on. Just need to find a suitable glue that will hold but not be impossible to remove.

I heard forces operating in Norway in WW2 needed a rubber cover to keep the snow out of their Sten guns , about 2 inches wide and 12 inches long ,Churchill had to approve rubber use and seeing the design approved, as long as they were all stamped "made in England Medium"A condom over the mod' keeps rain and crap out of the bore. Just be sure your mate knows what you're up to before you open it in front of him. I'm just sayin'

Apparently similar measures to keep rain out of barrels caused a few problems in Ulster in the 1970s...can't think why...

Rust Remover
To each litre of water add:
100g of Citric Acid
40g of Washing Soda
2 Tablespoons of Washing up liquid
IN THIS ORDER unless you really want a kitchen waist deep in bubbles.
Add the washing soda slowly as it will foam mightily.
Dunk your rusty whatsit in the soln.
Surface rust will take an hour or two.
Heavyweight rust possibly overnight and decades old coatings 2-3 nights.
Wash off under the tap with a scrubbing brush.
This is a century old railway spike that took 3 nights. With a similar spike as a comparison.
Note the tip of the head of the spike. It was above the level of the solution and shows the thickness of the rust.
It does not remove the metal.
I use it on anything rusty in the shed.
Reusable more than Evaporust, 6x cheaper, non-toxic.
It is a chelating agent NOT an acid etching solution.
You can use bicarbonate of soda but you need 60g and I don't think it works as well as washing soda.
