Basotect acoustic foam is perfect for cleaning alloy wheels

I rarely advertise on eBay nowadays, word of mouth keeps me busy enough.

Hazel pegs all day long for a traditional net, plentiful and free. Now's the time to get some cut as the sap is drawing down. I cut mine 24" this allows a little for pointing and rounding off the ends to save your quicks and make pushing into the ground a little more comfortable. I prefer my pegs a little thinner than most, ideally the thickness of my forefinger but its personal preference. If you rigging up a quickset net then fibreglass poles with proper grommets is what you'll be wanting, make sure you get caps on the end. those splinters are irritating little buggers. If you need any

TC Ive still got a few yards of that 4" mesh stuff from Chris myself . ive just finished rigged a 25 yard trammel up with it as the 4z sheets ive had made are 41/4" As for the quality of nylon nowadays, it is like night and day, horrible stuff blended with recycled crap and full of bonding. Hence i've had my own sheets made, like the stuff of old, soft as silk. My choice of weapon for a longnet is 4z, I want to catch rabbits first and foremost and the 4z is the best tool for the job. ANY NET will pick up debris but these heavy nylon nets will not catch anywhere near as good as a well rig

There's Pro's and Cons for almost every material we use for purse nets, I doubt you'll find a better material than a light z twisted twine for pursing up a rabbit on clean sets, you would struggle to beat a small braided nylon net in thick blackthorn. If i didnt have the time or Patience for knitting a net from scratch then a sheet of 10z nylon with a minimum 41/4" full mesh would be my go to for filling my net bag quickly, they'll see you right for years to come. Knitting from scratch would be braided nylon if you dont mind double knotting, single then id be going for a quality 20/24 spun

As smithie has already said, 20/12 doubled up will be quite weighty. Ive found the 20/12 fine knitted single. I use a 41/2" full mesh on the 20/12 @ 15 deep plus selvages.

Splicing depends on the how tight your braid is. Some braided nylons are so tight its almost impossible to splice.
-
As far as splicing goes, I prefer sewing lines. They do not come apart at the most inconvenient moment and truth be told take no longer to do than a splice. This one was done about 30 years ago and still going strong, more than can be said of the net that looks like Joseph's coat. . Back to the first question. Once the body of the net is finished, I am afraid there is no other way than to thread a line through one edge of the net. Once that has been done the net can then be placed on a pole to add the selvedges. You can then knit the first selvedge, to save yourself havin

Your very welcome Doug, Enjoy your season.

Hi Navek, I can sort that for you no problem.

If Andy is worried about his ferreting permission then he wants to thank his lucky stars the police didnt get involved when some members on here suggested it. I cant imagine the farmer or his mother would be to pleased having to take time out to give an interview to the police. I certainly cant imagine them giving false information to cover up for him.
-
I think his nets sales are down and he's feeling the pinch, hence the bullshit ,,,,, I mean statement on his farcebook page.
-
Maybe it's the air ambulance crew or their press officer that want his permission, the farmer and his mother that knew nothing of this attack and were under the impression that he fell and hurry his arm, maybe they want his net making business
-
Funny how the air ambulance crew that treated him are adamant that he had no other injuries other than the injury to his upper right arm. No broken collarbone or head injury. They did their own investigation after Tonya called them to get the story removed.
-
She'd agree with you but she cant see your post as i have her in the kitchen making me a brew

How about we make this an annual auction??? I dont mind running it every year. This year we can donate to Kent and the north air ambulance then rotate it yearly to cover other regions. You could then do your swim for the RNLI. Maybe one of the fishermen could organise a flatty bashing day for the RNLI?? would be a good day out for everyone. Your taking on a good workload there pal. I know from previous fund raisers the amount of effort involved. Hats off to you Mukka. It will have to be run past the rest of the mods and admin but you've got my backing My secretary will pick up some of t

Andy, In Gin's post it said he spoke to your landowner a few days after it happened, also the farmers mother, They had no idea you'd been attacked but were aware you'd been hurt. The air ambulance crew also stated there was no other injuries other than your arm. No head injuries and no broken collar bone. Which collar bone did you break????

Personally I'd like to see what Andy has to say, all we've heard from is Tonya. Andy hasnt typed a single word on this forum since the incident.
-
Certainly would of been an.interesting conversation between Andy and Tonya over breakfast this morning.

I'm on it gents, I just hope the issues that inspired this collection doesnt put people off. I will have a few nice items to put in.
