Good value on-line \"chandlers\"

Have been hunting for an on-line supplier for foam Jenny Brushes and rollers as the topsides are getting a seeing to this year. Came across www.flints.co.uk who are theatrical chandlers who sell a lot of useful stuff at considerably lower prices than your average marine chandlers. They do have a marine section but the range is not great, the other sections are more interesting, was almost tempted to try real gold leaf for the cove-line this year!

Go for the gold leaf, I used silver leaf and its head and shouilders better than the painted line, I tried paint too but that didnt compare.

If you go for the gold leaf use only transfer leaf and at 23.5 carat, double gold leaf if it is available.
Can also be obtained at Stonehouse and Sons in Lymm, Cheshire, they are gold beaters and suppliers to the trade.
