I have found that fingernail polish is the longest lasting paint to use on
queens. In spite of its very strong odor I have not had a problem with
balling or any other reasons not to use it. It is cheap, at the dollor stores
and you can get just about any color you or the Misses would like. What ever
you do don't, I repeat DO NOT use your wife's or you may find yourself in the
honey house long after the honey is extracted.
