I prop the slates on pretty rocks or wedge them against the heavy water bowl or the one I have with a corner missing I use as a lid on a seedling tray to provide a damp hide. |

I think that's actually a good idea, or something similar, even when you've put it together and think it looks bad, sprinkle sand over the top and that'll stick to any visible bits of glue/no nails and then when it's dry cook it to kill any 'beasties'.
It sounds good in my head anyway, but then again, so did the tracy island from blue peter.....

| I think the glue would crumble in te oven? It didnt go so well anyway. I found some tiles in the garage so one of them leaning on something else will do as a hide. |
