I need to bleach some white tuffs - got the bleach sorted, but need a bucketty thing big enough to get a couple of tuffs in.  Any ideas?  Scored a blank at Makro and the Range so far.......

There were loads in Asda the looked big enough the other day Bert, £4.

Take a tape measure with you and size one up.

I bought mine from B&Q 3 years ago, £12.

I'm in Stoke on Trent.  I might be sorted - Ikea under bed box looks like it might be big enough?

When you've got a big bucket get some of this gear bert http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,164600.0.html

works much better than bleach bud, only trouble is you really need sunny weather  :LolLolLolLol:
WANTED : 1" freestyle forks, uglier the better

Pick one of these up from your local B&Q Bertrand

http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/garden-tools-equipment/buckets-tubs/tubs/Garden-Flexi-Tubs-Large-40-Litre-Capacity-9414776'skuId=9705481

Tried it, won't fit more than a couple of inches in.  (I've taken the tyres off before you ask.......) I'm going to pick one of these up next week

I bought a large round black coloured 'planter' tub for flowers/trees from my local Wilkinsons (great shop!!). Dyed my z rims in it (you can lay them flat with minimal wasted space), then returned it and got my money back saying 'it wasn't large enough for my bush!'

205 ltr oil drum (any car garage will gladly let you dispose of an empty one) and cut it to required size.
Fits like a glove!

Just fly tip the big bit you don't need at your local beauty spot. (I'm joking (just in case there are any tree Huggers on here)).
