    Varnish, Sealer or Paint

    I asked Sadolin which they would recommend - stain or varnish - and they replied neither as both these products are meant for doors, window frames, etc. Instead they recommended using their Barrettine Wood Preserver. Now I'm really confused, especially as the C24 timber is already treated?

    Varnish, Sealer or Paint

    Hi John, Aah I see your point. You'll have to educate me, everywhere I've looked seems to suggest that yacht varnish is the way to go. Even Sadolin on their products page seems to suggest the same compared to their own yacht varnish. I don't mind using either, whichever will give the best...

    Varnish, Sealer or Paint

    Morning John, When I looked at Sadolin it was mostly wood stains they make and I discounted it because everywhere I looked it said "Wood stain soaks into the wood, and is intended to change the color of the wood. It doesn’t offer any protection. Comparably, wood varnish is a protective coating...

    Varnish, Sealer or Paint

    What would be the best protection for a garden shed made from C24 kiln dried timber. I was going to paint or seal it but someone suggested using Yacht Varnish instead. Is it any good, what would be the best to give long lasting protection?

    Which new colour?

    I used Dulux Lemon Tropics Matt Emulsion on my walls, but can't seem to find it now. Anybody know what Dulux have replaced with - Lemon Pie, Vanilla Sundae, or other?

    Which Roof Seal?

    Thanks for that. What I didn't understand was the Isoflex. It's about double the price of the other two but is pure rubber. I would have thought you'd be better off putting on something "artificial" like glass fibre instead of rubber which'll just go soft if the roof is in direct sunlight...

    Which Roof Seal?

    There's always a compromise, but how do they stack up and given the choice which would you pick?

    Which Roof Seal?

    How does Thompsons 10 Year Roof Seal compare with the Bostik One Coat Roof Seal and the Isoflex Liquid Rubber? The Bostik says it's got glass fibres in it to reinforce it, don't know if the others do as well. They're all priced about the same, just wondered which is better/stronger/longer...

    Prolite Lamps

    Thanks securepark, that's the same one on the Prolite website. I'm beginning to think they might not make the 25W version anymore. I last bought a box from them in 2018, haven't had a reply from them yet but might just be closed at the moment. Thanks 333rocky333, never heard of Kosnic but the...

    Prolite Lamps

    Hello, Anybody know where I might be able to get some Prolite Helix Evo T2 Energy Saving 25W Spiral Daylight Lamps (HelixT2/25W/BC64, Colour = 6400K) bulbs. Are there any other brands, length upto 120mm. Are there any LED corn bulbs that'll do the same job?, I found some on Amazon but a...

    Ring Doorbell and Cam

    The Eufy 2K doorbell looks but not sure if it's available here, it's on Amazon but no UK price. There's a lot of comments about it only being available in the US. You can buy it on eBay but mostly from US sellers. The other downside is that it seems to have a wired option only. Found...

    Ring Doorbell and Cam

    I need something at the front of the house with a built-in motion sensor that'll give an alert inside when someone is walking outside. Not so worried about it during the day, but I want an alert inside if someone is walking outside during the night; the area is well lit so lighting isn't an...

    Ring Doorbell and Cam

    That's what's confused me?? The Ring Cam says that it also sends notifications to your phone and you've got two-way talk. The only extra bit on the doorbell seems to be that its a doorbell, so you can have a chime or something similar inside that makes a noise when someone comes knocking...

    Ring Doorbell and Cam

    Hello, Does anybody have experience of the Ring Doorbell 2 and the Ring Stickup Cam and know what the differences are between the two. Both have motion detection, night vision and two way talk but which is better and by how much. Also, the angle of view is 10 deg better in the doorbell but...

    Hi, I'm running Window 10 Pro (Version 1903, Build 18362. 476). For a couple of weeks I've not been getting any updates. Had a look in "Check for Updates" and found that it is paused. when I click on the pause option, which should be a toggle, nothing happens. I then went into "Advanced...
