Mrs is not cos of the mess pmsl!

Stove refurb, new grates, new fire bricks general clean up.
Flue and insultated stack got new fire cement, (I use stovax mastic with a gun)
Over 11 years the middle grate had bent / sunk ( caused by over fireing with smokeless and choke plate not fitting properly.
Then a quick blat over with stovax black spray paint.
Burnt in all day today, the smell is horrendous but should be gone by the morning.
All ready for winter, I cant stand central heating.....

Installed Dodo sound deadening mat to the rear tub, pics to follow

Makes a big difference in the boot! Also worth adding some 6mm closed cell foam over the top then the rubber matt or carpet.

Don't look right got no runs and dog hairs in it (seriously looks good )

Weird stuff that adhesion promoter i swear its just hairspray!
Anyway heres the first cost of Raptor, shot it it closer than normal for the first coat, second will be rougher finish

its weird stuff, so globby you have to make sure you have actually covered everthing, first time i used it there were places where it did not take like orange peel so i assumed i had buggered up the primer and had a mismatch etc, then realised this was normal and after application it shrinks just a tad and this is with a shutz gun and from a meter away. Most peeps even after reading the instructions still dont shoot it from far enough away. Proper feshional now i is!
I love the finish you get with it, even on plastics that flex its the only bed liner than can accomodate flex without pinging bits off.
I might fit tomorrow its just too fookin windy n cold at the moment

Et voila!
