whoa how much is that to run?

Just wondering how you folk in industrial units and unheated premises are managing in the cold. I have resorted to fingerless gloves and a woolly hat, even thhe dog has her winter hill walking coat on. Recently brought a basic insulated plastic mug for tea, been the best £7 quid I spent, you can mak...

Cheers Robo

Could you share the diagram with all of us please Muffinski or Ricky? I'm curious now

hope you dont mind Ricky

is this what you mean by the capped method Robo?

ps: based on the general feelings about the moulding I was talking about I have taken off from my current order so thanks for the heads up there, save me a few ££££

yes sure is thanks, lets speak Monday.

usually you have to buy quite a few for the price to get cheaper than buying a single roll.

Afternoon, does anyone know where these two tapes can be purchased at a good price in bulk?

yep this is true Robo.

nice idea Robo, so would be 13mm thick?

ah yes good idea David. So am I right in thinking that you have 2 complete long lenghts there and the shorter pieces that are glues between the long lenghts?

yes indeed

thanks Peter, would you glue the lath?
