Afternoon chaps,
I'm in the middle of building myself a rolling station, got all my tables screwed on boards that can be changed over easily. I remember seeing a mod years ago either on YouTube or a forum where someome used a heavy liquid that set hard in the lid sections to give it more weight, making rolling easier work. I can't find it searching on google for toffee, does anyone else remember it and what was the liquid that was used?
Cheers,
Mike.

Could have been a sloppy mix of rapid set cement, or floor levelling compound or bonding plaster?

Thanks for your input. Floor levelling compound could well work, it's got to be slightly flexible and have good adhesion as the lid will end up getting dropped at some point and don't want a load of cracked debris rattling round in there

A thick sheet of lead with cutouts for the handles would be inter changeable between table tops.

I've seen all sorts used, in a pinc you can use sand and then seal the top part, although I havent measured the longevity of gardners that have hard that done.

I wouldn't expect any of the recently purchased gardener tables to last anyway. The quality of the mouldings is absolutely garbage. Wish I'd never sold all the ones I had years ago.
I was kind of hoping that some whizz kid would start making decent quality affordable tables from 3d printing or some other similar methods.
By far the best table I've got is a Shillam but jeeez he knows how to charge.

Shillhams are a sore spot for me. extrelemy highly priced considering the material by his own admisssion fails regularly and chips.
Im looking at purchasing another set of blades for hookbaits but under no circumstances will anything other than sieved smooth soft mixes go anywhere near them as even bog standard fishmeals give it more chips than gary linnekars pockets in a walkers factory.

He's changed the material now.. the new blades are made from some sort of durable plastic or ceramic I think. I messaged him to ask why the new blades are white.

It will be fine. Just mill every ingredient to within an inch of its life.

Your not wrong about the quality of the new compared to my old ones. Ones not too bad, doesn't line up the best. The other one had lips I had to sand off every section, still very stiff to use after spending ages trying different combos to line it up. I should drop them an email complaining really, appalling selling **** like that. I'm never paying shillam prices, may as well stretch to machines if paying that sort of money! Definitely a gap in the market for someone who knows what they're at with plastics!

This is a link to a video of one I bought last year I think. I've posted it before on here. Be warned it's a frank and honest opinion that was filmed to be sent to my fishing mates and not intended for snowflakes. It's not for viewing by under eighteens or by anyone that might be easily offended cos I use sweary words and as we all know now, words are violence.
Does show very well just how absolutely ***** Gardner tables are now and might save someone wasting money.

couldn't agree more regarding the Gardner tables, do yourself a favour and save yourself from a headache and send them back,

Just a slight tangential question - if you wouldn't use the large gardner tables but can't stretch to the expensive Shilham tables, what would you recommend that's somewhere in the middle?
I roll small amounts for myself each week and usually do a mix of chops and 14mm baits.
