Ouch that'd be a lot of lost income for a dishwasher transgression.

I approve, good improvisation

I must be whipped because if I even thought about beging a rim into the house let alone putting it in the dish washer I would be pulling my balls out of my stomach.

Yeah but Roof's missus is out most of the day. All the baskets were back in and a hot mug of tea was waiting for when she got in.

Like it!

I take it you're going to be using your spray booth (shower) and curing in your low bake unit (oven)?

Look forward to seeing the pics.

If you're in the habit of doing things like that with the dishwasher why not just buy a second one and install it in the garage specifically for "manly" projects?
