I've read somewhere that your body's response to the cold virus is to raise your body temperature. If it gets this right then it can damage the virus without doing you any permanent harm. So why do we all take remedies that bring your temperature down? Surely that's just going to prolong the...

I have gone ahead and ordered some Freesole by McNett. Mostly because it seems to say it is for exactly the task in hand, but also because it cures through exposure to atmospheric moisture rather than just by solvent evaporation like Shoe Goo. I want to use a generous coating so that all the...

I can't complain about the quality of the work from my local repair shop, but a fortnight seems to be the minimum time for a repair and the bill makes your eyes water! Z

I vaguely remember a lecture on adhesives at college. I seem to remember wet and bendy in use are problematic for most adhesives. As for cleaning I think I will rip the whole sole off as it seems to coming away all round. Then I can get to the surfaces more easily. I was thinking a light...

New Tick-card went in my wallet today. Z

Anyone else come here looking for recipes? Z
