Do I count? I'm in rainy North Wales, although I am not building a locost. Instead I am putting together a Sylva Mojo2 (painfully slowly too!)...

Hi Rob

I'm around and about on the weekend so OK to drop the discs off. I haven't tried Endaf yet - I've tried 'welding' the pipes using Alutight - seems strong but I haven't pressure tested it yet!
