Default A Minor Generator Painting Tip

When I sandblast and paint the rear end plate on the generator, I make a tapered wood plug to keep all dust and grit out of the bearing.
I found that if I use a can opener to remove the lip of the empty cocoa can, it will be a perfect fit to the locating ring on the end plate. This keeps the paint off the brush holders, and makes a good support while the paint dries.
