Same here, the bottle of matte medium was $20, I can get a gallon of glue for that.
And NOW he tells me - haha different source said a 3/16" angled brush is best for rail painting - and yes that is the problem, it is so small I am constantly reloading it. Not to mention it is extremely difficult to get paint all around the spikes, so what I did so far looks ok from some angles but not so good from others. I'm planning at least two passes, one with rust and another with grimy black, but I'm goign back and getting a larger brush before I do more. I'll quickly run out of patience with what I have.
