gcol, Sorry no offence meant. But your response expressed concern at the water resistence of the OSB, and as I said the OSB will not be used in a shower area I think my 'fingers crossed approach' is just about justified. Had it been in a shower area I'm sure I would have heeded your advice...

Thanks to both of you!

gcol/Moz, Thanks for replies. Moz - Powdered adhesive was an oversight it's BAL Bluestar. Stirling board - yes a strange 'choice' but it was a freebie! It's not being used in a shower area just internal walls. I think I will keep my fingers crossed that the PVA hasn't done any damage-...

Hi Securespark - could you explain the difference between supplementary and equipotential bonding please?

Hi gcol, I've seen your posts on previous forums and would value your opinion. I have replaced plasterboard walls in a bathroom with Stirling Board and am wanting to tile the walls. I have primed with PVA (1:5) and have flexible powdered adhesive and grout. Is this combination likely to be...

Message for Rachie, The part you need takes about 10 mins to fit from start to finish. You'll need a screwdriver and an adjustable spanner and a few towels and that's it. It is the CH sensor; I got a replacement from Heat Spares Direct.co.uk (the cheapest I found on the net). See my post on...

Dear Oko, Dan 75, Ali40 and Foxtrot, I've also been having the same problem with Optima 701 CH. The solution may be poor connection on the thermostat. There are two; one for DHW (green connector/blue wire) and one for CH (green connector/red wire - part BF306). Isolate the electric and remove...
