"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Wesco WAS BCB stuff.
BCB now markets it under the name of Bushcraft.
But you can still find some under the name of Wesco - basically they are all the same thing.
Also IRR - for the one time that you actually get NVE!!!

Try a local office supplies for dry chalk , comes in various colours in small tub type container. mix with a drop of water . Instant cammo.
You can rub it in without having to worry about looking like 'shrek' for weeks afterwards.
long lasting, washes off, non greasy, non smelly costs a couple of quid a tub but will last ages.

keep the cork of your next bottle of wine,
roughen edge of cork with knife,
burn for a few seconds with a lighter,

very cheap, very light, wont burst in your smock.

A big thank you to Murph, when I finally remembered this thread today.
Was looking for a suitable means of erasing marker from a map case.
Going around every shop going with an acetate with marker scrawled on it, for the
the last day and a bit.
The revelation hit me today - "NAIL POLISH REMOVER" !!!
Great stuff !!!! Works a treat...... :wink:

Yea its great stuff! Will take off chinagraph too.
Good idea if youre doing your orders actually. Have all your crib cards laminated, same with sketch maps and warning orders.
Send the warning order etc round written in lumocolor, then when you want to update it or write a new one just wipe it off with nail polish remover!
all you country lads with your Brut and Hai Karate
now you have a use for it
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
