Thanks for the puzzle! I had fun! A few things tripped me up; "Captain" in 3d was new to me; 8a, 10a, 11a, 12a, 20a and 14d all I'm not sure the defs are "solver-friendly"; with 1d I think if it's "thinning paints" the answer should be "oils" not "oil"; I'm not sure on "to" in 16a; anagrind in 21 is difficult. That said - some lovely clues in here; 17d was a fun definition; 4d is also lovely; 18a is a really interesting concept; 22a very clean; 2d is a fun surface. Thanks for the grid!
