Yea, I understand that, but at the mo I don't think it's from there.

Right, didn't know about them. Anyway they're not there. If I pull out the flexi completely and look into the soil pipe I see a rubber ring sitting in the pipe. It looks like it may have been a kind of gasket/O-ring put over the flexi pipe end to form the seal when pushed into the soil pipe...

Hi. Started getting some nasty smells in the bathroom. I think they're coming from the toilet plumbing. Does this look right? At first I thought that the flexible connector/pipe had come loose from the hard grey soil pipe it joins on to. I thought that I had to jam it on to provide a tight...

Hi all. I'm looking to have a little play around with some microcement. I'm thinking of wetrooming the bathroom with it. But I know very little about plastering. Can anyone recommend me the right sort of trowel(s). It seems to me that good brands are Refina, Co.Me, Pavan, and I need to decide on...

Yea, thanks.

Yea, I was mainly interested in the possibility of a good strong bond that gave you a little time to work your pieces into position then went off without the need for clamping. But hot glue doesn't seem to be it.

5 mins set, that's very interesting

No mate, he's replacing pocket screws (if you watch the whole video)

Interesting, thanks, I'll investigate further.

Thanks for all the replies. I actually got interested watching this dude doing this... No screws, biscuits or dowels, he just butts it in.

Thanks for that

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'd got to. I think the more expensive guns may have a steadier, cleaner glue feed, and actually I don't know anything about the different glue types, except you can get different colours. Any more info on the glue?

Hi all, Looking to buy a glue gun. Never used one before, want to have a little play around with some woodworking projects, shelving, cupboard doors etc. Really I want to see how strong the bond is, how it finishes, and how long it takes to go off. All I can see is that they come in 7mm and...

Definitely coming in the top front edge as I described above.

The FIRA connection is interesting and I've been given the name of someone to speak to there (when he's back from holiday), thanks for the link Crystalclear.

Morning all, A month or so ago I bought from Howdens some square edged kitchen laminate worktop. The front 38mm edge is a separate strip of laminate to the laminate on the top surface. I got a recommendation for a carpenter to come and fit it. He was clearly an experienced guy and I think he...

Hi all, sorry this is so long, hope you read it and can advise... I'm rebuilding a floor that was way too bouncy. 90 x 55mm old joists are being replaced by 8 x 2s (span 3.4m). The house is a brick mid-terrace. The plan is to chemically anchor legdgers/trimmers(?) to the front wall and the...

Thanks for all the advice

Friends would like wooden wedding rings, but I've very little idea about how to do it. Any tips? E.g. what wood would be appropriate? What finish would you put on? and, how would you actually make them?
