Bulling boots!

As previously promised the link:

Have fun.

That guide's brilliant! I think that's my boot sorted thanks to everyone's help and spending a long long time on it. I've now got it looking a lot better!

Now my next thing is to find a white marker. Any suggestions?

I've tried all my local stationers but they can't help me google's been pretty unsuccessful unless you live in the US.

What do you want to mark?, you can use anything from whitewash and a 6" brush down to Tippex

lol for marking kit. It's ment to be a white laundry marker but I can't get my hands on one.

I had a quick look throught some of his posts but there's a lot of them so I'll need to continue searching tomorrow. I've found white paint markers. Will that be ok?

Stix, I still can't see the link. Can you make it more accessible to users?

And Bluebell, and deodorant and foo foo and lots of other stuff that was needed for cleaning up for Skipper's rounds, which we obviously didn't hide away. Oh no, not in MY Cab Space..........

Bulling boots/shoes was a skill I never mastered.

Nearly had a kit muster once because my shoes weren't bulled!! I had a good DO who nicely pointed out to the Jimmy that QR's stated, shoes and boots must be black and polished. No mention of an ultra high gloss finish!!

He even refused my offer of a beer, what a fine chap!!!

PS, Jimmy was livid!!

I never ever hid gear behind the switchboard or in the APS, never ever, that would be naughty! Tins of WD 40 or trikes, never heard of the stuff
