0.5 and 0.3 Dweezils added to stock today.

Lots of Edge Hogs 0.4 and 0.5 added today so all sizes now in stock. Also 1g, 0.8g, 0.6g and 0.4g Diamonds added so again all sizes now back in stock. Now working on out of stock and low stock Dweezils followed by Billy Bobs.

Lots of Redneck’s, Grizzly’s, AK47 Evo’s and Pikey Paste’s added to stock in shop today.

Just a little progress report on the annual major restock. Floats in progress are all sizes of Redneck (240), Grizzly 0.3 (120), Pikey Pastes (130) and AK 47’S 0.3 and 0.4 (130 of each) which are all finished on paint and varnish and now drying off. Pictured below are around 250 Edge Hogs which are ready to start the finish paint/varnish processes tomorrow. Next up will be any out of stock Diamonds. All my float bodies are produced by me in my workshop using a variety of foams to suit the finished floats purpose. All the floats mentioned here are made from a 200kg/m3 fine celled foam for two reasons. Firstly it is much stronger than the 110IGF (110kg/m3) which seems to be the cheap and cheerful stuff used by the majority of makers (mostly fitted with spring eyes) and secondly being a very fine celled foam it is simply brilliant for fitting side eyes into. This is the reason I use another expensive very fine celled foam in a 70kg/m3 grade for a lot of my silvers/F1 range. In the centre of the four trays of floats in the picture you will see a solitary pinkish bodied float. This is the first of a number of prototypes I am doing to test out another foam I have found which is as fine in cell structure as the 200kg/m3 but even stronger at 240kg/m3 so as you can see I am always striving to improve rather than following the crowd.  

And so the great winter re stock begins.😀 Floats added today – 0.3 and 0.5 Shindigs. 4×18 Blimps. M2 Mudliners. 5×10 Guzzunders. and 0.2 Grizzlys. Back in the workshop almost full time now and will post on here as more floats are completed and back in stock.
