    Speaking of ratlines, has anyone come up with the best way to paint them without clogging up the tiny openings at the very top? Even when I dry brush, the dullcoat (spray) still fills in the very top openings.

    Ed,
    I just paint them. Start at the top and work down. If you get paint in the gaps just keep drawing the brush down the rat-lines. The paint will clear the gaps as you work down them. They can look a bit like a cross-word as you work. the clogs will work down the rat-lines. Once clear do not re-do just work down-wards
    Be safe
