If you wanted to a sample tin to try on a small area first, I can get a 2.5litre tin for you to try??

Cost per 25litre tin is in the region of Â£100.00; so granted there are cheaper products available, but ours is good quality.

Sales pitch over!! - let me know if you would like to try it.

robin kindly gave us a trial 2.5 litre tin (just need 10 more trial tins to do the job)
anyway between dumper runs i took some photies
before sealant/ stabiliser

just after

and 2 hours later

3rd blockon the left is unsealed for reference

for me it definitely darkens the block but i will add more pictures if things change, seems a good product,has that sickly sweet xylene type smell,
i also tested a piece of injun stone

and after 2hrs

look practically invisible on the natural stone compared to the CBP

will post follow ups if the client decides to go for it
cheers LLL

LLL might be a daft question but is it fairly straight forward dealing in shares? Is it a serious business venture or is it more of a hobby for you?

yeah you get online accounts and its dead easy to loose money fast haha, i did economics at A level and used to have an online trading account dabbled a bit but only played really, sold all my shares few years back just before the crash to bolster my deposit on my old house. cashed out with about Â£5k worth

I was told by a mate of mine who used to dabble in penny shares, he knew nothing about shares until he started and went from zero to 750k in a very short period, he was wiped completely out by black Monday, 19 October, 1987.

it's a day he will never forget for as long as he lives

he was going to cash the lot in 2 days earlier but did not have time to sort it out due to work....hind site eh, if only

what happened to the ladybird Luton ?

--------------------------

is it my eyes or is the middle 160 x 160 a darker shade than the 240 x 160 ?
or had it not dried when you took the photo

mick you are like action man with eagle eyes

eagle eyes
dont suppose the younger lot will remember action man

the 160 160 unit is indeed darker but they have been stacked in the corner of my lock up so it may have been contaminated with anything
i should have looked harder for a clean one but it was half 6 and i CBA
the ladybird got sealed as well
at least she has a 5 year guarantee on her wings now

shares can be deadly but if you are by nature a gambler at least you have a small chance of doing well

i have a mate who is 58,he was a job centre manager in manchester till he was 45 ,now he lives in florida 6 months of the year the rest on north wales(???why??)

basically he stayed in all through his 20-s and 30-s and put money into tessas and sepps (forerunners of ISAS) now his income is over 300k per year in dividends alone all tax free because he kept it in the tax shelters

any one on here can have a stocks and shares ISA and you can invest Â£10200 per year
if those shares go up by 20% the increase is CGT free
i would rather take a chance on making 20% a year or losing that much
than having money sitting in 3.97% accounts,which inflation eats
a good start is "the naked trader" by robbie burns
