Hello I've got a black and decker sander but want to connect it to my vacuum cleaner. Anyone know where to but an adapter from? I'm a infrequent diy so only using for painting around the house

Thanks, I will shake the can first, then reapply it.

I used this: Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 White Matt Stain Block Interior & Exterior Multi Surface Primer Do I need a different zinsser paint or should I get undercoat?

Hi, I've sanded down my radiators were paint was peeling off and then used zinnser sealer. But the radiators are still patchy. Any suggestions on what paint to use next? Should I undercoat it first? I was planning to use multi surface paint but I'm not sure...

Thank you. I didnt realise it would come throughout wallpaper. So something like zinsser eye 123 plus or dulux white primer ?

Thank you, I'm going to get my electrician in to see what he can do... thank you

thanks! not great news. , does that mean I need a pull cord for the lights, and another separate pull cord for the fan? I'm not keen on this as it isn't going to look good.

Thanks Andy, but can you get a fan isolater and light switch in the same unit?

thanks guys, the isolate is in the loft. I think I want a switch that has 2 pull cords, one for the fan and the other for the lights. Does anything like this exist? 30 years!!! wow. Conny, ever thought about buying your own place??
