    Foil caps comming apart

    Looking at the pick of the end result I can say I have had the same outcome. I sorted it out by pressing the caps down onto the bottle top as hard as I could before applying heat. Cheers, :hug Tony.

    Foil caps comming apart

    A heat gun is normally used to shrink on a plastic cap. Foils are ususally fitted by a divice with an inner red large diameter rubber ring that compresses the foil onto the bottle as the device is rolled on and off the bottle top / neck. Hope this helps, Cheers, Tony. :snw

    What a shocking year!

    What a shocking year this side of the pond. I walked along the canal towpath making my way to my favourite crabapple tree and stood back horrified! NO crabapples at all, I don't mean fewer than normal, none at all. I had to fall back on brambles for the pectin needed in my plum jam. Walked...
