From my research last autumn, it is designed to keep fuel stable rather than treat that which is already suspect. You don't need much in there so I would suggest using it as a matter of course. However, having said that, I recently used some 2 year old fuel in my rotovator and it started first pull so I'd be tempted to just go for it. Terry.

A Very Happy Greg Day, it's all yours for the duration. Get some in! Terry.

I thought I recognised it, I think somebody caught it last month. Terry.

That makes the day very special, I'm so pleased for you. Terry.

A very Happy Cake Day young Brian. Terry.

So, you sort of came joint first. 😉 Nice day out though. Terry.

Not that I've tried this year but 50/50 banks seem to be producing. Terry.

I would say take both, I was in the position two years ago when I couldn't even get a bite with squid on a mark where I knew there were fish. Alun told me to swop to mackerel and thereafter it was non stop action. And yes, on the bottom. Terry.

Set of largish feathers baited with mackerel chunks. Terry.

Min-y-mor goes under and is available at reasonable rates. Terry.

Thanks for that Martin but I am trying to avoid paint. The wrap solution should be permant'ish provided I'm careful not to attack is with anything abrasive or corrosive (like oxalic acid), all it needs is cleaning with soapy water. Terry.

As I was saying......! Roberto Rodas has (at last) finished the damage to my hull caused by Cobb's and, while he was putting the finishing touches, I asked him to have a look at the pillars of my windscreen. His advice was that they are actually plastic, that the damage is sun based and that the fix is to obtain new ones and he can fit them, circa £1000.00! Going back to my original question, I noticed a thread on the Jeanneau facebook forum about a guy who had the pillars etc wrapped on his boat by a firm in Southampton who specialised in boats. I thought it would not be a goer with the travelling but gave them a call anyway. Seems he is doing a job for the RNLI on the 16th January (handy) and could do mine at the same time and the price is not prohibitive so hopefully, job done. As I have bought G3 paste, I will just give it a try first but I'm not hopeful. Terry.

Looking forward to it and a very generous offer of the beer for us all. 😊 Terry.

Maybe a bit soft for our kayak hero, perhaps he could sit on the bathing platform with his feet in the water. 😉 Terry.

There will be Jim, I have a cunning plan! Terry.

This is my system, it cost nothing as the piece of wood came out of a skip. Terry.

I saw Serenity on Friday, you will definitely need a VERY big tide! Terry.

Happy cake day young Rob. Terry.

Only at the 'looking' stage at present so not sure of details, mostly it seems to depend on how much one spends, as far as I can see, from about £150 to 'king ridiculous. Terry.

On a different tack, I've been looking at 3D printers. Terry.

Probably left it a bit late to start now Jim. Terry.

Its only logged with a chainsaw but you're welcome to some. Terry.

Was a while ago Stuie. 😉 Terry.

That's me. Terry.

I have yet to identify it exactly Jim. It is some sort of ornamental variety but big. Rather than a large central trunk, it had a low bole at the bottom and large sub trunks going off in various directions and was right next to a fence with the neighbours property with a summer house on their side. It tested my ingenuity and involved a bit of climbing, although not as high as I used to go, I probably wouldn't bounce as well these days. I wouldn't have seen it as a candidate for turning. I took a large ash down here a while ago (this year) if you want a bit of that. Terry.
