It's the first time in 10 years we have used the silage additive applicator for baled silage so I lashed up the nozzles to the front weight box with G cramps and some spare angle iron.
Do I get extra points because the barrel had a hole half way down where Dad caught it with the dung grab a few years ago so I blocked it with a bit of silicone

that's minus points surely!! Should have just tightened the holding strap upso it covered the hole using a sandwich effect of blue roll in between if really necessary

Only if they are used while the welder is joining the 2 pieces of metal. If they are used as the only fixing they are just about acceptable but string or used cable ties would be better.

What he acceptable way of holding it in position for welding? Hold it with your free hand and then squint

Make sure you don't use new string eitherApologies! I'll replace them with Farmers Friend immediately
those knots are so annoying

I have 3 farmer's friend knots jammed in the dash of wife's Peugeot to stop the rattling
that's the best use I've found for knots in string. Just ram them in there with a screwdriver and enjoy the silence.If I only had 2 knots I suppose I could've just rammed them in my ears with a screwdriver thus blocking out all the noises

Propper bale string etiquette should be taught at (or before) primary school. Its shocking how many ordinary people don't know about how to leave bale string reuseable.
