Wow! I haven't looked here for a while & there is some good shit going down. Nice boards guys.FYI Can anyone tell me why nobody uses these guys?

Nice work Adam - glad to see the workshop finally up but shitter about the weather you've had!  So breather and peel plys are the way to go, eh? good to hear, I had planned trying that with the next build.

Wow havent looked at this thread for ages. So cool to see crew getting into it.

Finishing a little workshop right now but the weather aint playing ball.

I have tried a bit of bag experimenting like steve said plastic liners or just the bag, grrrrrrr, mission.

The peel and breather ply is the go.

Got two to take out of the bag this arvo from yesterday.
