Now, I know I said I wasn't going to be doing this again, but I'm set painting again, this time for 'Gaslight' at Old Mill. I was asked last night if I can do a suggestion of decorative cornicing at the top of the flats, but this is impossible to do with mere paint, so it's going to have to be real cornicing. Obviously the plaster type is going to be too heavy and expensive, but there is a moulded styrene foam type which would be the perfect alternative - only I don't know where to get it from. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Tim Prosser.

As my Wife so aptly described it, I do have a shedfull. All shapes and sizes and two metres long, very lightweight polystyrene, two nails or a dab of liquid nails would hold a length up. I have a distinct feeling that Susan is keen for me to move it on as nornmally she doesn't go near MANS territory. Despite my warnings of spiders, snakes and scorpions, she is obviously keeping her eye on me or my shed. I also only live 5 mins down the road from you Tim.
