I am in London, no speed problems over the last couple of days. Am using my laptop and the pub Starlink as the ISP.

Is it a hollow door? If so you can get hollow door fixings.

As above, it may be the case that there is a screw hidden under the label. The casing of the drill may have changed over the years.

You are correct that most shower screen channels have a slight rebate. My point was more about the many other items that might be fitted that need to sit flat. Tox were the first nylon fittings that I came across which would wind up the screw thread, and as I said, they did them with and...

It is a shame that the Duo plugs are not available without a collar. I guess you can chisel off the collar after though to enable fittings to sit flush. I used to use the Tox plugs in the old days, they sold them with and without collars. Difficult to get hold of over here now.

The downsides to the green Bosch are that it is only a single speed and that the brushes cannot be replaced. On the upside, it can be turned upside down. I have used the pro-version of the sander, it was pretty good but unlike my old Dewalt/ELU belt sander, you need to use two hands. Unlike my...

I often use RedLite and RedDevil OneTime, I have never had a problem with flashing when priming with dilute emulsion.

I am only a lowly decorator. I normally see the plastering done after the fitting. In defence of the fitters, they often allow a gap to accommodate any discrepancies.

Tnx, I have used my nicotine gum in the past to "glue" coins in decorator's caps in the past. Icky, but I also use nicotine gum to hold screws onto the end of the screwdriver when needed. Even ickier... this week a mate and I made a nicotine snowman. Absent of carrots, I made the nose out of a...

I have never seen plasterboard do that before. Cracks are typically straight lines. Is it possible that they are concrete ceilings? You could sand them back with a random orbital sander (ideally connected to a dust extractor). Alternatively, you could have then reskimmed.

In a rectangular room, you would still need to remove 2 of the skirting boards (opposite side and one adjacent). That means that the OP would need to rip down those two lengths height wise. Yeah, it could be done with a multi-tool but unless the timber is not very deep, the fixing cap on the...

Many thanks. I don't have the decorator cap but I plan to use a 15m end cap with a washer. Would WD40 be sufficient?

Hi all. I need to remove a rad tomorrow. I suspect that the TRV pin is stuck. When I open the bleed valve after closing both ends the water pee'd out I removed the head and tried to push the pin down. It would not move. The pin looked like it had black gunk around it. Should I tap it with a...

I might be exaggerating... having just checked, Tools4Trade say it is 4kg with the 5.2 amp battery.

TBH, when I first purchased the Souber, I was using an old 705W corded Metabo drill but the body is about a foot long and I found it difficult to hold the drill and move the Souber mechanism up and down. I have weak wrists . The cordless Metabo and 5.2 Amp battery weigh about 5kg, but it is...

Yeah, you build up posts before you spam. On some forums it creates a degree of trust. I have to confess that years ago I did something similar to promote a niche pet product (on other sites). It worked and our product had the first listing on Google.

Assuming that they have screwed hinges, have you tried to tighten the screws?

I do not know the answer but will be intrigued to find out why that would be considered too steep.

At a minimum, I would sand the laminate finish first and then prime it. SBR might suffice. Why not ask Mapei? Alternatively, you could use a MS polymer such as Stixall or CT1 to glue them on. That said, you will need something to stop them sliding down whilst the sealant cures.
