Free: WallRock Thermal Adhesive/Wallpaper Paste (small quantity) (Stirling FK8) A small amount of wallpaper paste is left over after my project. It is the stuff that is recommended for use with Wallrock Thermal Liner paper, but I think could work with any wallpaper. I'd estimate that 10-15% of the original 5kg remains. Full instructions printed on the tub. This product doesn't last forever once opened, so it's probably only worth taking if you think you will use it in the next 1-2 months. My friend told me that his went 'off' and smelled disgusting. This tub definitely does not smell disgusting yet! I've been storing it in a cool place.

Free: Used 3.2mm hardboard sheets, up to 2400mm x 1200mm (Stirling FK8) Various hardboard sheets removed from between our floorboards and carpet (has been replaced with insulating layers). The largest is a bit more than 2400mm by 1200mm, and there are various smaller pieces. Some are partially 'ripped' and don't lie flat unless something is put on top of them, and some have bits of paint, plaster or staples and small nails in (could be pulled out if needed). Might be useful for weed eradication in the garden/allotment or flooring in a shed/garage.

Free: Helmet - for fancy dress etc. (Stirling FK8) Mammut 'El Cap' climbing helmet. Size 56-61cm. Giving away because I've got a new one that fits better. Manufactured 12/2024. Stored carefully and only lightly used - but due to its age, could not be recommended for use as serious head protection. However, good for fancy dress or those situations when it's "better than nothing".

Request: Thunderbolt 1 External HDD/SSD enclosure for iMac (Nether Liberton EH9) Hi, I have an older iMac 2011 which is running slow on the internal drive. I'd like to see if I can improve performance by running it off an external SSD. I've seen your can use an external drive on the Thunderbolt 1 connection. Looking for an external closure I can pop an SSD in.
Free: Underlay (Stirling FK8) A little over 10m2 of Carpenter brand "Luxury Underlay". In good clean condition from a non smoking household. Photo shows a small piece, most of it is in much bigger pieces the full width of the roll. It's going spare because I removed it from a room where it wasn't suitable (a basement where it's essential that everything is breathable, and this product isn't). It will work great in a more modern house! It has very small holes in where the staples ripped through, but these won't affect how it feels under a carpet.
