You don't hang around!

You will have to employ someone to sit on it on a windy day at this rate!

Should be smart once its done!

4kg today, probably another 3kg that Tom had already done.

Needs cleaning properly now, chemicals, heat and not much weight gain, bit less rewarding but needs doing!!

Horrible stuff that deadening, soak what's left in petrol for a while and it comes up no bother.

We've got chemicals and heat but it's still a huge job, half way through cleaning it off properly tonight. Will try the pan scrub tip.
