Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Beags; Pop along to Boots and ask the Pharmasist for a small bottle of 40% Formaldehyde solution and a disposable syringe and needle. Explain why ye want such stuff. Put some Serious eye protection on and slowly inject the 'formalin' into those pads. Try to get as much as each bit will take of it in there, till it just trickes out again. Then put them away in an airy place and leave them alone for a couple of weeks. They'll go hard and be fine there after. Formalin smells very sharp up the nose. Get it it ye eyes and ye'll wish ye were never born. Don't get it in any cuts either.

mooster 1 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 On the subject of formaldehyde.I asked the chemist for some of this to make pigeon decoys a few years ago..I was told that it is not permitted for sale to the public anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Eh?! Bloody hell, Mooster; And I was buying it when I was thirteen years old. I've since bought Benzine and pure Sulphuric Acid and god knows what else. Explain yeself to a Pharmasist and they always happily sorted me out. And now they've stopped ye even getting hold of bloody Formalin? What next? Worcestershire Sauce? No wonder kids today are growing up fat and thinking only of their X Box. Poxy f*cking govt!
