Mold Release Sprayer Restoration:
Its that time of year when molds are repaired, replaced, the mixers and tooling get licked clean and to start off my absolute favorite item. This mold release oil spay head. It was in very sorry state when purchased some years ago. Its certainly had hard life spraying release oil on over 100 thousand or more paving moulds and many garden planter forms. So, after a few hours simmering in a strong caustic solution, an hour or so with various bronze wheels this item is now as good as the day it was made and fit for another 40 years of service. Its new life now is for filtered water, for semi dry cast work where water is added very lightiy to just the right degree. Still using my great great grandfathers molds to hand make Georgian garden pieces, this item seemed a fitting piece of kit. Strange workd we live in, when my Edwardian & Georgian molds have outlasted every other type of mold made in our "Modern World." I know what I prefer.

Now is the perfect time to buy large and very large for next year. Not spring.

Over and winter all dead garden matter can be put into the empty planters creating the perfect base for healthy plant growth. The fresh created is not only better than store brought but localised to your garden. The added advantage that you also dramatically reduce the amount of soil required to fill a decent sized garden planter. Earlier this year I was asked so many times for a one meter planter here at that I caved in and started to produce them.

I can get two on a pallet for delivery or if you're local to I can probably deliver in person and help put them in place. I highly recommend you follow the former head gardener of the National Trust https://www.facebook.com/share/jNvF9TNtZRduYC8m/?mibextid=LQQJ4d for good gardening tips.
