If making a rocklobster, the easiest way is to send it to Rockwatt and he does it all for you :)

All done now :) I like getting my hands dirty and always feels better when you have done it yourself, just the cradle to buy and fit it to the jimny.

Home made baking soda blaster!

Brings up casings like new, and I mean, new! They're also very very light on soda, so a box (I have a 5kg round tub) last a very long time. Just don't fire it up in the house or garage, I actually now use a £10 tent from Tesco, swimming goggles, and a cheap mask - it's not a fashion competition!

The baking soda does wonders for my scalp.
