    8 pints of beer usually give me that look! :P

    How about a drop of gloss varnish on each eye Moni?

      High threshold Patrick. No more than 2 bottles of wine does the trick for me. Also has the effect of getting my wife Pauline very annoyed.

        I generally fine a poke in the eye with a stick or something tends to give that glassy eye look. Seriously though I think Patricks idea sounds good.

          I used a spot of clear epoxy on my Trike's eyes, nostrils and mouth. But clear varnish would work just as good Moni.

              thank you all, for your help,Patrick,Laurie,Si,Ken,

              and I think that the clear varnish is the way to go,

              I know that klear is a floor varnish,but i don't think we have it hear Scott
