Vanny, get yourself down to machine mart, the one you have pictured is only £82 inc VAT!

There's branches all over the place....

or eBay. I've seen them sell for as little as £20 before now.
... all landings are in fact controlled crashes, and any crash you can walk away from is a good landing. The definition of a good pilot is a man with the same number of landings as take-offs.

fuck right off, i am never shopping in machine mart ever again. If i wanted shite tools i'd go the market, even aldi is better than clarke! Halfrods dont do one, and quite frankly £80 for a metal box with a pump is a total rip off.

£20 sounds good but i still hadn't found one by 2am on ebay (well not one that was local and cheap with next to no time left :(

What chemics are you going to put in it, You can`t use chlorinated solvents anymore ( genclene etc) it`ll melt your plastic and poison you anyway. We used to nearly bath in it but apparently Mr coshh says it kills you? You can still buy xylene but only polypropylene survives it an it eats wood better than termites. there are several white spirit based supplies but they are crap compared to the others even if you get one of those little stiff hollow brushes that connects to your pipe :oops: Sorry not "your pipe" I mean, your pipe :lol: Fuck it you know what I mean!
