So I hung out out in the weather and sure enough most of it is more dry now (even after a few bits of rain) and the boys that are dry don’t shed powder. There are still bits of oil damp spots, and they still release powder. Patience I guess.

Might have to try that next. Not sure what it would be like to use in terms of comfort and durability. Want to sleep in/on it swag style.

Yep I’ve read some horror stories about spontaneous combustion of linseed soaked rags. Took great pains to dry it safely by hanging it out properly such that any heat buildup would dissipate.

Why did you put iron oxide in the mix?

Various recipes say it both dyes and adds to waterproofing by filling in the gaps in the weave.

Now that I think about it, I’m wondering if the weave was too loose to hold the particles. I wanted something lighter than a full weight canvas so I used a seemingly tightly woven linen tablecloth. I hot washed it to shrink/tighten it further before applying the treatment, but I’ve noticed I can still see light through the fabric.

We live and learn I guess. Bit of an expensive experiment, but it’s an excuse to try again. I prefer the natural linseed colour to the red of the iron oxide anyway.

I hate snakes

Yes I believe they do.

I literally laughed hysterically at this. Actually scared myself with the noises I made.

He really is quite weird saying that someone who tried to enforce the rules they’re employed to enforce was ”clearly suffering from a mental health episode”

Did I say ”weird?” I meant ”a complete cunt”

Ouch

Looks cool, trying it out now - thanks!

”shit was fire. ”

I’ve had many a curry that did that too.

Since Kobo disabled side loading all I’m interested in is can I easily copy books into it without having to go through a store. Article wasn’t clear on this.

Lost? Battlestar Galactica? Where are they?

Good to know!

Well isn’t he going to be surprised when he finds out just how ineffective it is against gunfire.

I have been in an all out war with autocorrect over the last 24 hours. Appear to have lost that particular skirmish without even realising it.

I too like both versions, and actually writing such a powerful song is something Trent deserves huge credit for. Talent all round.

Meanwhile some poor sod is having no luck at all trying to play table tennis with a ben wa ball.

There are so few shower thoughts that are worth pondering. This is one that is.
