I took a break from service rifle and the volume of reloading I did and recently got back into it as I have said before.
The FIRST thing I did before anything was to slap another coat or two of WHITE paint on my bench. It makes it easy to see anything from brass shavings to spilled powder to whatever and looks pretty professional, too. Almost everyone has a can of white paint kicking around somewhere and a cheap brush is only a buck but I feel it is money and time well spent. If your bench is in the basement it also reflects light and makes things in general brighter. When it gets too dirty, just slap another coat on it. |
Ha Ha! Good idea for the unlazy! As a lazy first class, I don't want to see the mess so the finish is dark, and I don't paint unless I absolutely have to. unless my wife tells me I have too. My formica top could be painted alright....but Simple Green works for us lazies.

I did it on my old bench and it WAS great until it got so effing dirty that painting it was the only option. By then though, it had grown so big with so much 'stuff' on it it, that I rebuilt it in 3 benches and left'em "in the white" so-to-speak (no paint at all). 
It IS a good idea, though... |
