Deluxe Pipecleaners 100 - 25cm length ideal for cleaning bike mechs - 49p@ Home bargains
These have a decent "bush" on them - find them ideal for cleaning bike mechs if you know what they are. If not they are good for cleaning pipes!!

Sticky back plastic was Fablon.
I made lots of models from pipe cleaners and paper mache at school in the 60s and my mum still has a few of them. I never asked why pipe cleaners were so called and it never occurred to me that they were for cleaning smokers' pipes.
At 0.5p each I might just buy some, though I think I'll stick with brushes and a jet wash for cleaning my bikes.

These take me back to when everything that they showed you how to make on Blue Peter was made from pipe-cleaners and sticky backed plastic, and I had neither.

True :disappointed:
But you do realise sticky back plastic was just sellotape :smile:

Waiting months for the bottle of washing up liquid to be used up, only to find your mum completely forgets you want it and throws it out with the rubbish. :disappointed:
This is a decent deal though, i can imagine these could come in very useful. Now, all i need is a pipe...
