Anyone tried Rustoleum? It looks really good but I can't find any ingredients. Will it be safe against skin if it's dry though?
So I tried cold los today, and I don 't want to jinx anything but it's made such a difference in terms of the patina flaking off :ta:
Thanks everybody! Dennis your leaf is gorgeous!
I'd heard about protectaclear but haven't tried it yet - think I will. Also that jade oil which I'd never heard of.

Hi,
I tried the sprite and battery method on niobium yesterday and it worked!!! I'm really pleased with it and much prefer it to the titanium if I'm honest. Now all I need is stronger drill bits,...

Thanks for that! Eeeeeh, I feel a mary poppins moment coming on! Modified of course! :-D
Awww, don't be jealous. I'm quite worried about them again now what with the snow and all. Should we be leaving food out for birdies in this weather or is that just a bit silly really?
I'VE SEEN SOME! I'VE SEEN SOME!!!!
Quite a few actually over the last 3 weeks or so and one even fluttered around before landing in my neighbours tree - t'was gorgeous. There just aren't...
Could you use one to cut metals like silver and copper or is it just a beautiful dream that could and would never happen?
Don't worry y'all christmas is ages away! :D
If anyone wants me, I'll be in Egypt by the big river :-"

I guess I shouldn't mention the crush I've randomly developed on Anton du beke as well then

I quite like Alan titchmarsh and I'm 28.....is that wrong of me?
But probably not for the reasons you're thinking [-X
I have a noo tattoo!!!!! And it hurts! I don't remember it hurting this much the first time and now I'm worried about breaking it!
Giving us beach balls? They could have at least tried to be a bit random! ;)
Because they have very small, suspicious minds! <:)-
By everyone I really mean my dad. Course there's only one of him but it seems like more when he's crowing :rolleyes:
