Industrial grade cling film- the stuff they wrap packaged fresh meat etc in etc. Not got many applications in the garden rail environment!

Off-topicness is monitored carefully by chief off-topic moderator Laalratty, he will award Bungle points as and when required, Bungle points are awarded by invitation only, if you ask for them then you probably won't get them! Patience is required.

Small Print: Bungle80a has the right to cancel Bungle points awarded as he sees fit.

I used it to cover an open wagon I was making a "canvas" cover for - stopped the wagon from getting damaged as I draped the glue-soaked old handkerchief over it and left it to dry off!

Yes thats the idea...drape it and then cover in tissue soaked in a 50/50 wood glue/water mix...when hard, trim and cover in roofing mastic and add the coal
