But one can also have a ‘second look’ at things which is what the surface suggests and which has nothing to do with GLIMPSE. So, therefore a Cryptic Definition that was, in my opinion, (only just) justified by the two interpretations of ‘second look’.

What do you mean by “Saved by the two meanings of ‘second’.”, please?
I can get glimpse = a momentary (ie for a second)look at something but what is the other meaning of second, please?

Couldn’t get
22d -I never know the names of painters (other than Brian who does my stairway).
24d I guessed sling but didn’t wrtie it in as I hadn’t come across a rifle sling.
26a Too obscure for me.
