You're on something there, SeaFalcon

That could be the start of a new trend - forget paint jobs (hard to paint Toppers), nail varnish them!
(next week, we'll use glitter glue )

Well that's a whole lot of jargon that I don't understand !! I'd say jus sand it or wet and dry it a bit to smooth the edges e.t.c - but if you really want I could lend you some nail varnish...  (I have sparkly colours too lmao)!!!

Right mr ed,

About the centre board, what you do is take the black tape off from over the holes which the tape covers then once you have filled both with water, the weight of the water will push the bladder back into exactly the right shape, or you can protect your daggerobard like i did with pro grip.

And about varnishing the dagger board, im sure you can varnish it but i'd be very careful if i was you because the class rules are very strict about what is allowed and having a smoother dagger board than some of the other toppers might give you an advantage therefore they might not take kindly to the daggerboard being changed.
