Yeah, had to be very careful with the spray.bike clear or it would run. Supposedly 2 coats will get you a gloss, but I think I got at least 3 out of the can and it was more of a satin than a gloss. Maybe has more to do with the texture of the color coats underneath.

There's ISO and JIS square-tapers and from what I read they often can be used interchangeably.... though not always.... or maybe only in one direction... at any rate, the VO BB & the Stronglight 93 don't get along.
