Actually it's just a posh version af jam and buttercream. The ganach holds the lot together.

Day's objectives achieved. Heated Bench now got my bank of 8 T5 tubes attached to a timeswitch and it is working <imagine Kermit the Frog with a yeah>. I've also blacked out the windows using some kingspan left over from the loft so that's insulated as well. I am frozen though. It is perishing out there.
Morning all

Have a good day everyone
