The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

On a car I would consider two of them too deep for T cut on a car the other three are much more superficial. This all sounds like it's a wreck, far from it I'm terribly anal about how my bike looks. These are one the side of the top tube.

Think I'll end up building up layers of nail varnish and then sand down. I guess WD-40 is mildly abrasive?

I'm
hiding just in case I suddenly disappear......

Up early and enjoyed a nice cup of coffee while finishing a novel by J B Turner (its about American politics......very scary).
No rain yet but sky looks full.
Day is planned out as......
1. Fruit for breakfast
2. Trip to the chemist as Mrs Dave had
a nasty accident last night (hot water
bottle on her back decided to burst)
3. Light lunch then Mrs Dave is dragging
me to the pictures.
4. A couple of beers and tea will be
Chili and rice with garlic bread.

I hope Mrs Dave is feeling better.

I'm not sure how WD-40 works to be sure, I think it just acts to clean up the area, I came across it in a car care article and tried it on my car, a white Suzuki Swift, after someone clattered the rear corner whilst it was parked and badly scraped it, it came up quite well and I was able to get most of the other marks and scratches out with T Cut just leaving one scratch that was too deep.

Thanks......it is a large burn area but strangely not too painful. A large watery blister in the middle that I know we must not pop. See what the chemist suggests.......they are normally very knowlegable.
It was only about 12 months ago she poured boiling water on her hand.

I think WD40 acts like a de-greaser, water repellent, cleaner. And it stops squeaks as well.

Off for a stroll around Boscastle this morning, then fish & chips for lunch at the Bettel & Chisel Inn in Delabole.
Doggie walk along Daymer beach afterwards to work off the lunch, then back to the caravan to catch up on La Vuelta.
It's tough at the top!

When I used it on the damage on the car it took the surface marks off and left the deeper scratches.

Morning all, smoked bacon and garlic and herb cheese bagels being eaten for breakfast this morning, washed down with a mug of tea. Then out with the dog for a few hours combined with a bit of shopping to pick up some diy bits, and then may a pint or three at lunchtime. Busy busy busy.

Stout should never be served in a glass with a handle!

Does Little Andy know you've got his pint?
