I didn´t know it was robust enough to heat shrink. I must look out for some no 6 and try it out. (I can´t find a hash symbol on my Spanish keyboard though I am sure there is one on there somewhere!).<br />Happy easter to you and yours.

The first time we left home, hoping all would be well, we were headed back and a mile or so from our place spotted our dog! Oh no, we thought, he's a "runner". Loaded him in the back seat, he gave my husband a face lick and off we went to home. Only to find our dog was there behaving himself very nicely. We drove the other dog back to his place with red faces! They were an exact match right down to the red collars! And we still laugh about it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432818284701098002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-5726223086416608342015-04-03T07:23:18.776-05:002015-04-03T07:23:18.776-05:00Great Elizabeth -Thank you for your tipps !
