    now now honey bee - do I hear a hint of cynicism??? I did say I swaped my horse trailer for it.
    and as to you Pal.........

    anyway about the frugle word. Martin later in life learnt how to mend musical instrument - thats what he does, and he sounds about as tight as Paladin (sorry) anyway he got one of these wierd brass band instruments in to repair, and I looked in his book to see that he had entered it as a "frugal" horn (should be"flugal" - just the instrument he should play!

    I used two methods josephine,but only because I was given them at a stock clearance sale.
    This is my least favourite method. It requires messing around with an adhesive,the pack says to use a silicone but I used a 'Liquid nail'type of glue from a DIY store. Even then some clips fell off when I was fitting the wrap and it puts everything on hold for another 48 hours for the glue to cure.
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    These however are by far the best method and I will be removing the glued ones and replacing them with these .

    This is the first time I have wrapped a glass house and I'm sure other members use differnent types of clips...so watch this space!
