(B4267) then as you start to come through Sully along Lavernock Rd. look out for the Sports & Social Club on the left over 400 sellers last Sunday.

Thanks Paul, I need or should I say SWMBO needs to go to ikea so that's on the way, last good market around here used to be stormy down aerodrome (so close I'm looking over it from cefn,) closed down many years ago,
Many thanks for the directions
I recognised the horstman rollers straight away as I used to have some, also horstman balls, they went away, shame, my slip guages were made by them too.though I didn't use them that much in honesty except the odd bore measurement

I had one of the paraffin (kerosene in the former colony's) sprayers, threw away the can, blocked the suction connection and it makes a nice long air gun.

[mikem]

What would you spray kerosene on and for what purpose?

well done

What would you spray kerosene on and for what purpose?

Along with a cig lighter you can get rid of wasp nests in the eaves that are too far to reach.

In the old days it was the way a lot of shops cleaned the old oil off their machines. Spray it on, let it soak a bit, wipe down.

I have used sprayers for both "Gunk" & "Jizer" they will also spray "Waxoyl" when it's warmed up and/or thinned with a drop of White Spirit with the pressure wound up.
