Years ago, I built my kitchen using MR MDF. Like the OP, I had SS undermount sinks. I routed a lip into the top of the MDF cabinet tops to support the sinks. The worktops were 2" timber. From memory, I sealed the raw edges with epoxy resin wood hardener. 20 years later, they were absolutely...

The shellac primer will be touch dry in less than 30 minutes. The water based eggshell will be shower proof (steam) in about 4-6 hours. You may however find that water drips down to the lower part of the window reveal. It would therefore be prudent to use waterbased eggshell throughout.

Bin it. It isn't worth while to repair. I used to have a Porsche Siemens kettle that cost about £100- 15 years ago. One day the kettle would not engage with the sub base. I used a cable tie to project the connection on the base upwards, it worked for about 5 months, then the kettle started...

Path of least resistance, perhaps paint the black part white.

I would scrape away the blown paint, sand it and then use a shellac based primer, and then paint over that. I suspect that the main problem is that your airflow is insufficient. I don't know what paint you currently have. If you opted for a water based eggshell, the moist air will settle on...

They hack back to about 18?mm. Then do a bedding joint and then the weather struck pointing after. They only do lime pointing if the customer specifies it. Lime pointing is more expensive because it smudges the bricks more, requiring a wash down with brick acid after. I have known the guy...

I cannot give you a definitive answer. I have seen lots of mouse poo over the years, your samples look like mouse poo. That said I have never knowingly seen bat poo. I have additionally worked in houses with rats. I would not expect you to be able to hear a mouse running around. Edit--- mouse...

Personally I think the Amazon offering is taking the pee given that they are probably sniffing the metrics with a view to monetising them. Do Eufy have set commitments with regards to online storage space or might it be the case that in a year or two they too will go down the subscription path...

How was their email address hacked via Whatsapp? I don't understand how whatsapp would have access to the password used on their email account. I suspect that it might have been a case of someone spoofing their email address rather than having hijacked their email account. I could, if I was...

Cut the film away. Under cut slightly- at an slight angle below the plaster. I recommended the 9mm snap off blades because they are flexible and will bend slightly. That means that any score marks on the uPVC will be behind the plaster line...

I spend just over two pounds a year on razor blades. I use the Wilkinson double edge blades (the old skool types). You can often buy 10 blades for just over a quid. I normally go about 3 weeks (or longer) before I shave again. I did once try the multi-blade razors but my facial hair was so long...

I don't have a dog in this fight but I have seen a number of properties finished with K-Rend that look dirty after 6 or 7 years. I was under the impression that regular rainfall would keep them clean, but that clearly isn't alway the case. Perhaps some properties need pressure washing with...

Smith and Rodgers are based in Glasgow. Over the last handful of years they have started to release products that directly compete with Zinsser. The new products that have used thus far are as good as the Zinsser products but are less expensive. Both companies have good customer services though.

As above, Windowlene was often used. I just use blue tape and lining paper. Do not use regular masking tape, the sun light will make the adhesive go rock hard. Blue tape is often safe for over a week (often longer).

If you use silicone, it will make it difficult to repaint the wall in the future. Silicone will repel the emulsion. The blue stuff looks like the blue film that is often used to protect uPVC windows when they are fitted. I cannot tell if the blobs are silicone or caulk, or something else. I...

Not true, but thanks. We are both pros, I very seldom have reason to disagree with your advice, and I genuinely cannot think of an occasion where I did.

I use them from time to time. It took me a while to get used to them, but they do have advantages. No need for a table, no need to soak the paper- the latter being a massive advantage. Because the papers have a woven backing, you do not need to worry about the paper stretching. When working...

Do you mean that the colour obliteration is poor? If yes, what colour was the door initially.?

Having looked, 750kg seems to the max load for a tailgate. I guess you need to ask them to split the load over two pallets, or find a company that has a forklift attached to the back of the lorry. Is the ebay company not able to recommend a courier?
