recovering pram handle

I feel as thought I have really achieved something, even though it was such a simple task! I have removed the old plastic covering from my dolly pram handle and replaced it with new. This was SO easy!!!! I have a heat gun, but a hairdryer will do just as well, so used this to melt the old handle covering. The middle part had already been removed so it was just the end parts, where the handle is grooved. Once the heat started to melt the plastic it simply peeled off. A couple of stubborn pieces did require a knife underneath to help remove, but it was all so easy. I then rubbed down the wooden handle until it was nice and smooth, then slipped the handle into a new plastic sleeve of covering. You can buy this from E Bay but a very kind lady gave me some of hers, it is on a roll but have no idea of cost. Anyway once the sleeve was in place I simply heated it with the heat gun and it melted into place and formed itself around the handle! It was incredible to see what was happening. So if you have a pram handle that is in poor condition, do recover it and it will be as good as new. The only downside is that the manufacturer's logo will not be on the new piece, unless this has been engraved into the wooden handle (which it hadn't on my pram). I would have liked to take a video of the process but unfortunately handling a heat gun with one hand and the plastic with the other didn't give me the opportunity. WORD OF WARNING - be careful not to burn yourself when using the heat gun or hairdryer and keep your fingers well out of the way of the heat.
