Thanks guys!

I'll give the expanding foam a miss, but may use clear silicone instead of the sand cement mix to give the handrail an exciting wibbly unfirmness.

Oh OK, I'll stick to the sand and cement...



Just wondering whether it's better to put the sand and cement in dry,
then add water?


Nah , plastic bags rammed down pipes, metal in, sloppy but strong
mix, funnel made out of 2litre pop bottle, trowel it in, self
compacting, tamp with a stick if any doubt...
