      Welcome home Si! It’s good to see you again. Hope your panning holiday was a success. You have some awesome ideas for resin. I have been watching a fellow, jedrek29, whose channel focuses on everything resin. He has some techniques with UV resin as well as pouring resin that you may find useful. I am on my way to check out the Thames fruit trees.

    Maybe there could be a Thames Clean Up Day where magnets are used by volunteers! Surely that scrap could be recycled! Or a barge could be brought in with one of those giant car magnets to clean up the really bad areas. Anyway, I think your idea will encourage others to try it as well!

      But it’s history. Why would you want to wipe it away? Ok imagine if a child went down there. He asked his Dad what these nails were used for? And he said they were used for ship building etc…. That kid has learned something. Not everything needs to be cleaned up ✌🏻

Wonder if those gents who threw in their pipes hundreds of years ago thought of that? Of course we know better now, and as you said, the e-cigs are harmful to the environment and are no future treasure. The garnet tree came out lovely.
