the silver coating got chewed up when i drilled the holes for the switches, its like a tin foil thing, and it just peeled off, easiest just to cover it in a wrap

Don't eat yellow snow.

Use a mixture of bicarb of soda and White wine vinegar for cleaning limescale from stainless steel.

I covered mine last week with CF film. piss easy to do. place it on, heat gun it (at safe distance) and it practically makes the shape for you. then just stanley blade round the edge. let your g/f help but make sure shes supervised when using sharp items

moss usually grows on the side of the tree that is facing north, so if you get lost and don't have an iphone you could use this method to find scotland
