Hello everybody.
I'm decorating the bathroom and doing the final two jobs - painting the pipes and radiator before glossing the skirting boards and door.
Today I decided to prep the radiator. There was some loose paint at the bottom so I chipped it off with a screwdriver. I also cleaned around the part sticking out of the side of the radiator and decided to give a little (honestly, it was little) scrape of the rusting around the pipe coming out of the side, and now a steady drip, drip, drip of water is coming out.
Here's a picture (you can't see the water coming out though):
I tried turning the knob on the side as far as it will go in both directions but it still drips out. I cannot afford a new radiator or anything as radical as that. There is another knob on the far end, but it's by the toilet and hard to reach. What are my options? Thanks for any help.
