Gunsmithing Minimizing mess whilst flushing.....

Hi all.

I've very nearly finished my high-pressure flushing system and hope to try it out in the next week or so. I'm just wondering if anyone has any good ideas or advice for keeping the mess down? I'm using a micrometer stop and am thinking that once the oil comes down the barrel and along the flutes of the reamer, it will hit the micrometer stop, turn 90 degrees and probably cover me. Is that about right? Is there anything I can do to minimize or stop this? Pictures of anything you've made or used would be great! Thanks for looking!
