Same on my vtr and 16 stainless ties or a roll of tie wire, prefer the tie wire looks and works better in my opinion.

That's what garages are for! I live alone and I wouldn't dare do that to my own front room!

Its a lot easier on your hands if you soak it for a few hours in water.
You dont end up with the fibres everywhere :)

Haha
My dad once came home, walked into the kitchen and I was rebuilding a cylinder head on the kitchen worktop. He looked at the head, looked at me, said "alright" and just went into the living room.
