Thanks for the response!
I would have, but John Lewis said they were out of stock...
Herewith (I hope - I've not used this system before, I think) are 4 shots of
1. the bed frame corner, showing the latest fitting in situ.
2. the frame corner disassembled, showing the two cam pin...
I have a solid wooden double-bed frame from John Lewis that is held together by two pins and associated cam locks (nuts?) at each corner. After some years - so no guarantee - two of the cam locks are getting loose and do not hold their newly-tightened state for more than a few days. I replaced...
Thanks for this - I hadn't seen/registered it in my searching. I'll ring tomorrow.
The universal is made with metal corner pieces to hand the user-trimmed seal by, but the 50 GX needs a continuous seal that is gripped along its length by parts of the oven's assembly pressings.
I'm Happier now
Got an ageing (but who's old at 20?) Parkinson Cowan Sonata GX 50 cooker with a very wrecked lower door seal in dire need of replacement. The seal is continuous, so no cheapo kit from eSpares will do. G.A.Spares have a seal that they say is for this device but it seems too short at 47.5" My...
I've done this before and for the same reason as I'm doing it now: to hang a Sheila Maid clothes dryer. Last time it was easy - just looked in the loft made holes to locate the joist from below - but now it's not as the ceiling joists have been reinforced for the new loft room and are...
After a shower replacement a tile with an unsightly hole in it has been uncovered and wish to replace it.
Is it viable to replace just one tile in a wall of them?
They are stuck to a lath-and-plaster wall (c.1906) with normal tile cement. They are very closely grouted so I would have...
What? Spend money when I've got a perfectly good set of tubes of useless glue?? How would I justify it?
I s'pose I'll have to because I binned the stuff yesterday...
Teh extra hardener and a day 'setting' (I dare not pull at it in case it comes apart) and it is holding. Maybe it's the...
Today I mixed some ageing epoxy glue to stick a magnet to a plastic timer. After an hour ( it has 5 minute setting time, it says) I let the magnet stick to a steel surface. A while later the clock had fallen away from the magnet! I re-did it with a bit more hardener. Two hours later the...
A very late response but the research paid off...
Both acrilic and spray glue failed to hold the pre-glued vinyls to the wooden wall. So I bought an elcheapo B&Q B&D stapler and nailed the b....rds to the wall! Luckily the tiles are dark brownish so the nail heads don't show and won't when...
Thanks for the offer, Dad! :D I'm far too far away to take you up on it! Will said acrylic glue react OK with the existing self-adhesive stuff? Have you tried using it with s-ad vinyl tiles on a wall?
someome said to try the spray-on vinyl adhesive c/o B&Q. Anyone used it successfully?
I have a tongue-and-groove bath surround that I want to cover with self-adhesive vinyl floor tiles matching those newly laid on the floor.
Is this a silly thing to do?
I tested it with two tiles and they adhered pretty well - even the one that I heated and used to turn a corner (radius...
I am considering having one of these:

fitted (I don't trust myself working on a roof!) in a dark passage way ceiling. Has any one any experience of their use and any advice for a potential user?
Any observations re which might...
I have a Bosch balanced flue water/heating boiler fitted to an outside wall. I want to fit a 4 foot deep lean-to poly-carb rain-shelter to the said outside wall but the flue will then - technically - be covered by it. I understand that the fear is always that the flue will vent dangerous...
