as said in title, just wondering if any ideas as the edges are fragile, any cases or any ideas, or shall I just keep the box, cheers Rich
 
I'v got 8' long shelves in my LWB transit so i keep the top shelf for my feather edge, speed skim and my EZE spat and poles and make sure thats all I put up there kept them safe so far.
 
i use these on my trowels/spats. get them from any stationery shop and there cheap as chips

Same size as a sheet of A4 paper.
I use these and gaffa tape them together to the desired length.
Have to redo them every couple of weeks though.
 
someone posted about buying a snowboard bag for them a couple of weeks ago, wernt to bad either it was only a score i think for a nice 6ft padded bag
 
Cut some strips of hep to length and then split them down the length alternatively some garden hose using the same method.
 
I got these off my mate,he works for an I.t company. think they are used for protecting sharp metal edges in big computer cabinets if they've cut holes in them?
Ideal for the speadskim and trowels :RpS_thumbup:

What was the trowell,stew like, did it need any additives?
 
Lol bought a tool bag to replace my old tool box, wanted to clean everything in it 2 trowels etc etc, soaking it in a sink would have taken forever so I though I would see what boiling the old shitty trowel would do, turned out great dead easy to clean off was like it had been in soak for 2 days..

The pan was a bit worse for wear though strange black mark where the water was boiling :RpS_confused:

Or you'll be makin stew and your wife will kick your balls:RpS_scared:
