A little birdie has told me that a cheap alternative to filmglaze stuff is to buy a big roll of catering clingfilm and some double sided tape.
Is this an urban myth or no? |

Wickes, next to the draught excluder strip - another thing I noticed yesterday! I *think* it's 6 sq. m. for £5.99 - I didn't buy any, so I don't know the exact size. There seems to be a roll of 10mm wide tape in the package. |

I think it was the same as the pack I have in the cupboard, which is by Stormguard |
