The masking tape wont stick on the paint lee. I used that all weather tape last time and when i peeled it off it left loads of residue.........:RpS_cursing:

you can buy polythene temporary downpipe get a roll roll out to length then slit it with a knife and wrap round and use cloth tape to secure

Is that like the carpet protector stuff gibbo ??

no mate its a poly tube

Buy a roll of thin poly for about a tenner. Cut a foot off the top. Its 4metres long so it'll rap round it and tape it to itself if you know what I mean.

We spend more time coving up on some jobs then we do rendering them !

I meant tape it onto the paper when wrapped around tight mate.
Start at bottom & work upwards no need to tape it to paint, a daily sport & a quarter of the daily star should do it mate :RpS_thumbup:

get a length of plastic pipe, cut it in half down the length, then put the two halfs round your cast pipe and tape together, if that makes sense:RpS_thumbup:

Polys yer best option. By the time you've ****** about cutting a pipe down, you'll have it wrapped in poly. Plus you can use the rest of the roll for covering windows doors etc

just take the pipes down and weigh them in and when the owners come back just tell them you went for dinner and on ya way back you saw some pikey bastarrds running down the road with it

Yeh cause running down two sides of a pipe with a small disc cutter will take oh bout 4-5 mins? And once you have used them on one job u can keep them and use them again and again without the time consuming job of cuttin them again!!:-0
