    AI posts on this forum.

    Unfortunately if you are here regularly then you see this stuff but can't do anything about it. Mods or mod probably have a day job. I've thought about setting up a forum myself but it's quite a lot of work and responsibility for little or no reward so a thankless job. It's a common thing that...

    Zinsser perma white satin ove Dulux grey satin

    Just that durable paints have resins that don't half stick. Splash some on floor or uPVC and you soon find out how well they stick. They also level out nice. Longer drying though and longer recoat times. Undercoat isn't always so smooth. Needs a denib. Quick drying and recoat times though. There...

    AEG washing machine - conditioner remains in dispenser - Insufficient water supply ?

    I've just been readings online about your problem. Could be the inlet valve solenoid which are around £25 if you can't find the blockage. For the cost worth a punt?
