Stik is a great tip. Thanks Jim, I'll have to get one of those.

You won't regret owning one of these Tommy.

That all very well Jim but us  cheapskates just use a piece of alkathene water pipe
Low density polythene pipe ‘ us NZ farmers have it everywhere

Cheers
Dennis

I wouldn't want to be breathing in polythene dust mate.

Is that why those sheep are so attractive to NZ farmers?

 ;)  ;D

It does not dust .
Because of the speed it tends to melt

That works straight away Jim , thanks for the tip.

Should be able to pick up a brand that does the same thing in a hardware store (or eBay) Bruce.
When you sand dried varnish or paint off wood using your belt sander, do you know how that gums up the grit and it gets that glazed gummed up deposit? The rubber will strip that straight off.
