All nice pictures when it's new

This is original and 30 years old, I haven't got any complaints, hence why I'm keen to use it again on the new parlour

I was using cepralock and having similar issues to you, went to orbeseal and found much better results, vet informs me cepralock have changed there sealant now and it's better than orbeseal
