Hi folks,
I'd appreciate any thoughts on the easiest way to tackle this. The backnuts on my (current) kitchen taps are plastic, the type that can only be screwed by hand. Some helpful soul decided to glue them into place for me, and they are rock solid. The rear of the sink is pretty difficult to get at. No idea what kind of glue it is, but it's a dirty yellow colour.
So far I've tried (a) swearing, (b) cursing, and (c), the ultimate man solution, hitting the tap with a hammer in the hope this would crack the glue. No joy.
If I hacksaw the top of the tap off, will I end up with a stump that can be hammered directly downwards? Or will I just end up with an angry wife?
I'll post pics if that would help...!
Thanks,
Calum
