The value is in between the silverskin and the bone, and not so hard to find, but not always so easy to realise...

This is the best method I have found. Skin it like a fish. YouTube is your friend.
I don’t know where you live, but I did a butchery course with Andy Papworth, sometime before lockdown. Was a brilliant day, much learning

I remove as much as is practical. Top Rump silver skin is usually very thin and pretty much dissolves on cooking. I like to leave the fat/skin on topside etc.

Apologies for the double post. It only shows as a single picture in edit.
It does look that good that you’d want to eat it twice!
Do you use regular butcher’s string for the joints, or trussing loops? Mine never look that good.

Yep, I cheat and use the elasticated food bands.It does look that good that you’d want to eat it twice!

I think it gives a better finish than the string.
It certainly does.
Which size bands do you use? I have a long roll of elasticated butchers string and tie my own bands, but it’s still not as neat as how yours have turned out.

I'll be in the larder later so I'll measure them.
I got them from weschenfelder way back but they don't do them anymore.

Any idea roughly how long, in cm?
I have looked at these before from places like Cutting Edge Services and Butchers Sundries, but they do them in a variety of sizes and I am not sure which ones to go for.

Super, thank you 
You can always tie them to length or just knot the bands for where the joint tapers.
