Don't know about geeky .... but they're one of the first things that jump out at me when they're not fitted! You'd be surprised at what people on this forum notice ..... missing or added Grin

I'll remember that one.
I'll use it on black plastic such as the bagpipes etc and some other hoses. I have to be sparing with its use now as I only have a limited stock from a life before Heinz Roll Eyes
