Default Free tying tinsel

Hi folks.. Does any of the irish guys on here want some free tinsel?

We use a product at work which is basically the same as fly tying tinsel. I haven't actually used it yet myself, but it looks perfect to me. It is actually stainless steel. It was surplus to requirement so i helped them free up some space in the stock room.. very good of me i know

I would estimate that each spool has between 50 metres and 200 metres of wire on it. They are basically the tail end of spools which were once 2000 metres long...The machine holds 10 spools and once one runs out they dump the rest and reload it... so honestly i don't know how much is on each spool..

The reason it is only available to folk in ireland is due to postage etc. I don't think you can use a UK stamped adressed envelope to post from Ireland to the Uk. Sorry.


So any irish tiers out there give me a shout if you want a life supply of tinsel.

cheers
JJ

Apologies to those who have not received their free tinsel. Two factors resulted in the shipments not being made. Firstly the supply had dried up and I didn't get as much as i had expected...... and secondly and possibly more importantly i am useless at organizing myself to get the tinsel (which i now have) posted out to those i promised it to.
You can expect your tinsel in the coming days. I will post either today or tomorrow. Sorry again.

cheers
John
