    Cracked a cast iron radiator, trying to repair it.

    Thanks mate, unfortunately you were right! The crack must’ve gone all the way into the thread inside, I used epoxy and it worked ok for the most part but some of the crack was inaccessible. Lesson learned! Will look into fernox though, thanks for your help

    Hello I’m about to start a project on my loft. I’d like to use it as storage, not a habitable space. When I’ve cleaned up half of the space the joists aren’t the best (approx 75mmx33mm) so I would like to strengthen them. There are old lath and plaster ceilings below these. It’s my understanding...
