Flaming float tube!

Hovis · Post by **Hovis** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 8:08 pm

I have been kindly supplied some bamboo to make a float tube by a very kind member who shall remain nameless (thanks Barney

) my question is do I need to remove the "enamel" by scraping it before trying to flame it?

Help please.

Cheers Loop,

Just what I am hoping to achieve. Guessing its hard to scribe on them with the enamel on.

If you use a kelly kettle keep the shavings for tinder
