    Toppfix rapid set and Toppfix rapid set flexy. Used both and happy with results. Not found anything to match it for the price.
    They did tell me who made it for them but I can't remember who they said now

    bit of a funny one - contacted Topps in reference to you know what as I believe he used some of their stuff and got put onto their technical - said they would send one of their guys out - Turns out the guy is from BAL. Spoke with him today - should have their report in a week or so but he said open and shut case.

    Also said that we removed the chance of you know who being done for manslaughter!!!
