Free: Scuba torch ? working? (Probus) Hi! Can anyone make use of this Ocean Pro underwater torch for scuba diving? It's been in storage for ages, I tried charging it up & when plugged in it still wasn't working (though the light was on on the plug) so maybe it needs a new bulb? Or possibly it's broken, but if anyone may be able to make use of it in spite of this I'd be very glad! =) Katie

Free: Titanium dioxide white pigment (Probus) Promised Hi! Can anyone make use of an almost full bag of titanium dioxide white pigment, the sort used for cosmetics/soap-making etc & in the food industry? I'd say it's not suitable for consumption as it's been in my garage for a while, but I'm really hoping someone can make use of it for creative purposes as it was expensive to buy and I'd hate for it to go to waste!

Free: Lengths of hose pipe (brand new) (Probus) Withdrawn Hi! Can anyone make use of these 4x 110cm lengths of hose pipe? They came as part of a winch system for lifting a car roof box/kayak to be stored beneath a ceiling, but I switched them out for different tubing. Maybe they could be used similarly as slings for a kayak or surf board, or as part of an irrigation system maybe?

Free: Garage strip light (really good!) (Probus) Withdrawn Hi! Can anyone make use of the halogen strip light (or even just the bulb?) that was in my garage? I've had to replace it with a flatter profile LED strip light on my wall to make space for storage, but I much preferred my old one, kinder to the eyes! Bulb is 120cm long, light itself is 123cm long. There is a crack on one of the ends of the frame but it's perfectly functional and you don't notice the crack when it's up on the ceiling! =)

Request: Wood or paper wool or similar (Probus) Hi! Does anyone have a large amount of wood wool or ink-free shredded paper or similar (not dusty please) which would be suitable for storing the components of a replica suit of armour? I'm in the process of restoring it, so want to look after it a bit better from now on! The metal had rusted so I'm planning to rub in wax after the metal's been polished, hence why I'm looking for a dust-free packing option! I'll be so grateful if anyone can help! =) Thanks very much!
