I was pondering the human condition this evening, atop my porcelaine study. I happened to notice that there was evidence of a very slight leak at the point where the pipe enters my toilet cistern. So, I reached back and noticed the connector was eversoslightly damp. Glancing around the room, I was pleased to find there was a tube of Fernox LSX within reach.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with LSX, this is a very good type of sealant that is designed specifically for fixing burst pipes and leaks. Great stuff to keep in your toolbox. And very, VERY sticky. It is the superglue of sealants, and is not removed by water even when fresh from the tube (well durr!)
So, I decided the best way to fix the drip whilst enthroned, was to squeeze a load of LSX onto my fingers, then reach back and liberally apply it to the general area of the leak. Made quite a nice job of it.
Then I ran out of thoughts to think, so it was time to leave my bainial library. I then found out that toilet paper sticks VERY well to a hand that is entirely coated in LSX. And by now BOTH of my hands were coated with the LSX I won't go into every detail, but I am sure you can imagine the situation!
Afterwards I was grateful that I hadn't managed to glue my buttocks together with the stuff. Would have been immensely funny, but still!
