Its Sea Foam Time

Yes indeed Pete, perhaps you read of my matching 4BO garden paint ?

Yes John, and I've noticed your greenhouse is pretty close to 4BO as well! (Mine's just bare aluminium)

Tales from the potting shred.
Hi all.

Commented on posts but not done any myself as not been modeling as such in 1.35 but in 1/1 in the garden for the last few weeks.

Removing a very large an old Clematis, sad to see it go , but the shed it had covered was in need of some serious load removal on its roof. That done and assembling as new arbour, painting etc has taken my time.

However some news on this year's crop of Sea Grass, after a somewhat slow start some nice plants have started to mature.

The ones I sowed from seed were left in small pots, and have therefore not grown to full size, but the ones that were self set from seeds in the compost have turned into some fine specimens.







A couple more weeks growth still left, and once they start to turn red the treatment can begin.

Thanks for looking in.

Percy Race.

Thanks for the comments all, unfortunately Andy, Glycerine is not flammable in the sense that we know. It would have to be heated to a high temperature before is ignited.:crying:

So, when grown and harvested do you just use normal cement glue and what primer gives best results?

I be a joking of course...the primer depends on what colour you want the top coat to be.

And yes, I do know that you grow this to use in model trees etc...just been a silly so and so.

Nice crop there JR.

Hi John,
Thought we’d not seen much of you around. Sounds like you’ve been enjoying the garden and rightfully so

Glycerine is not flammable in the sense that we know.

When I was a nipper I remember my big brother pouring glycerine onto a small pile of potassium permanganate. The result was spontaneous ignition, with a very pretty purple flame. I keep meaning to try that again, but I haven't got any glycerine.

Thanks for that Pete :nerd::smiling3::smiling3::smiling2:. Interesting, I'd read it would self ignite when heated to a very high temperature. Off to look for some potassium permanganate.:tongue-out3:
