I need some ready mixed plaster filler for a DIY job at home. Afterwards I will have an opened tub with plenty of filler left. Will this stay good to use for long? If it does deteriorate within a few months, how can I prevent or slow it down?
I looked again - it looks extruded from a nozzle and pressed flat. It doesn't actually look like it was attached to the sink to begin with. The edges of the chipboard aren't sealed either.
Actually, it's not sticky tape - it's very stretchy and not really sticky. Looking at a piece of it, it looks like it was attached to the sink to begin with, then pressed down onto the worktop. The same stuff is around the glass ceramic hob, installed at the same time.
I have a new steel kitchen sink in a new laminate worktop, two months old and the sealing strip around it is coming away already. I want to get something to patch the gaps in the sealing strip as it progressively comes away - what though?
The worktop is black, the sink stainless steel, and the...

The string (part 3) is the devil. Without it the blind won't behave - it keeps descending after I stop pulling the chain. It is attached to part 4 and the wheel housing bit of part 5 - it turns with the wheel. It winds round the big capstan of part 5 and one of either 1 or...
I have made a mess of fixing a roller blind chain and now I need help. The chain isn't the problem - it's the clutch mechanism. It came apart and I don't know how it goes back together. It has a short cord on the inside that winds round both a fixed capstan and a separated toothed capstan inside...
OK, I do tip the oil and fat into the bin. I do. Then I wash the utensil. Then I have this problem. Nobody, nobody bins their washing and rinsing water.
I know the advice is never to put fat down the sink, but washing frying pans and oven dishes, you've got to. A plumber told me - emulsify the fat with detergent and it won't build up. But I did habitually and it has, and now I have a blocked sink again. Any advice?
Thanks for the tip, crank39. The pyramid melamine costs hundreds of pounds but the same site sells cheap foam.
My budget really is tiny. Does anyone know if hardboard layers, maybe sandwiched with something less dense, like cardboard, would be good at absorbng sound?
I want to soundproof a bedroom door against the sound from my stereo, which can be quite loud and bassy. I realise it can't be completely soundproofed but I would like lots of deadening. Unfortunately I'm as poor as can be and so it has to be cheap, and I can't afford to buy the wrong materials...
