    I have used White Sprit and clear silicone bathroom sealant to good effect on a very old DD tarp. One and two pounds respectively from the Poundshop. 3 quid for a "new" tarp, sorted.

    FlexiStove

    Laid flat, stitching to stitching is 173mm. I measured 113mm diameter when formed to a hexagon. As it is flexible take these with a pinch of salt. As I said they are designed to take a crusader so they are cut to be more oval then circular. The front cutout is 75mm from the bottom and the...

    Long Dymeena lead

    Thanks Gents for your input. What seemed a good idea..... blah blah Yeah I was wrong! Knocked up a length with a load of locked brummels that would seem to fit the bill. Ok I don't get to choose exactly where the binner fastens but the whoopie at the other end is for fine tuning. I do however...

    Slate.

    I wonder if is it the stuff that fell my great great grandad's cart when we where fleeing from the anti Beard pogram in the late 1850's ( There was no wick-ped-ia in those days so don't bother to look it up.) As such you are duty bound to pack it up and send to our house. ... cos my nan says...
