25 Litre barrels - where?
« on: October 05, 2008, 07:22:23 pm »
Need another two 25Litre barrels for freedom trolley - the clear type,

i'm seeing them on ebay for about £10 each plus £5 postage,  :o a little excessive, anyone know where to go for cheaper ones?

i can't remember what i paid through pure freedom, it was a quite while back..... ???

I only found out this by going in one and asking if I could buy the 4 barrels I could see at the side, the reply was how many do you want you can have them free as we have to pay for them to be taken away. They get through alot of these.

Result all round I thought, they will need washing out, but will save you a packet

if your near me come and pic up a couple for nothing I have a couple spare.

Running a hose pipe in a barrel is no wonder why the soap did not shift, you have to shake it off as it sticks to the sides etc, it is also a good workout  ;D

Visit your local Tropical fish aquarium shop they normally sell these with de-ionised water for aquariums for about £7 or £4 empty.

just an idea in case you have an aquarium shop more local to you.

find a local printers in your area,and you,ll find they have loads of them to give away,they get them in because they need i.pa for there printing machines,i should know because i was a printer,so all you have to do is fill em up and away you go,the i.p.a is as you may not know is pure alcohol,so the drums are sterelized....hope this helps
