I have a Inmes IM30 and am extremely happy with it. We are very lucky with the technical support we get in the UK from Lion. I purchased my one to replace the Morso as I could no longer use it due to disability. With the Electro-Hydraulic morso starting price being about 8k, the Inmes iM30 was the b...

Not sure that I will be any help, but just a couple of things. When you apply the silk in the corners I was taught to leave to dry for 24 hours, but could take up to 3 days to fully dry.

Just Google them and you will find their number, no website. That’s who I use. They are very good and do very good quantity discounts.

Thanks Steve & Alan,

I seen on here quite some time ago about a forum member who sells boxes for posting frames, can someone please post details? or ideas?

Also what about glass? Is it best to use plastic if posting?

A big YES from me.

I think you have also just solved my problems with my WiFi. My workshop is about 20 meters from my house, some days I get online from the workshop no bother and other days no signal. I will make a trip to PC world this weekend.

Thanks for sharing the info.

The way I have done this in the past is from making the box fro...
