I assume you arent fussed about getting original labels? Otherwise i'd have suggested going to Solitaire

Exactly same situation as you were. Got a lovely plain bat of talisman that he stickered as a puma and could do with a couple of ounces taken off. Will try my luck emailing them. Thanks

Solitaire sells stickers for 5 quid

I have the solitaire labels.
I have emailed kooks.
Thanks Liam

Alrid,
That looks a really lovely bat.
Quite a lot of weight to take away, is it still in one piece?
-
Wide berth of warsop then!

That's a great job!!!!!
I know where ill be sending my bats in future.

How much did you charge for this tom?

I can't remember fully, but I'm sure someone suggested putting your bat in a warm place such as on your radiator to get any moisture out of your bat and dropping it's weight by a few ounces.
Not sure how good this would be for your bat if you took to much moisture out though.

Slightly off topic.....

This has been mentioned a few times - apparently Julian Millichamp has been known to do it - the downside is that it will reduce the life span of the bat.

cant remember what i charged wayne as it was part of the package price him, simmy and pro all got when they purchased their kit. Hope hes happy with it when he gets the chance to look at the pics :)
-
Are you offering this service on a full time basis or is it a one off?
-
hmmmm would have to have a think as its not exactly a massive money spinner to be doing day in and day out....could be pursuaded depending on if i like whos asking lol
-
Solitaire sells stickers for 5 quid
Maybe it's the solitaire stickers that weigh so much?
-
