    Pushing Back .......

    Hi scottie, I always rinse my moulds in a washing up liquid and water mix to both clean and break the surface tension of the mould. I have not tried the PVA trick though so maybe add a tad to the mix. Do you dilute the PVA prior to adding ? Cheers Toto

    Pushing Back .......

    Hi Mr Bowcat, Thanks for your comments. The cobbles are tedious and theraputic at the same time. I done 16 rows last night and will hopefully gat at least the same knocked off tonight. Hopefully more. I thought about a car or something, preferably an easy build to sacrifice in the creator...
