Last ditch remove...

Light weight coving, not like the original 1970's bumpy polystyrene. now it has a smooth finish and unaffected by moisture like traditional plaster ones. Here is an example lots around in all shapes and sizes buy the recommended adhesive and you are good to go. Good luck with finding out how...

Saw that too on a report on the net sickening! :mad:

I never paint fences now, just a chore that needs doing every couple of years as it looks tatty, proper closeboarded or featherboard fences will not last any longer, as said the posts go first, and those pre made panels from DIY stores just fall apart whatever you do to them (n)

You will be lucky if any glue works, need the bed cut out and re-cemented in, but if you "feel lucky" go for a sealant like CT1. (y)
