Good point. If half of the customers look like dealers and the place is full of people who stink of weed, I will use my phone as a hotspot. Over the years I have popped into quite a few pubs where the regulars automatically assume that you might be old bill (which I am not).

Best of luck.

Yeah go with the meths and wire wool. Do a test area to ensure that the meths does not activate the glue. I think it unlikely to do so. If you plan to use waterbased paint, you might be better off with "synthetic" wire wool (AKA plastic abrasive scouring pads). The reason being that remnants of...

Image 1- lightly sand the edges of the crack and fill with caulk. The caulk will shrink back slightly so you may want to apply a second caulk. Image 2 - hack away the blown plaster. You could do a first fill with Toupret Flex and Fill if you are worried about it cracking again. Otherwise just...

Years ago a customer asked me to paint an oak desk which I assumed was varnished. Nope it had a factory sprayed hard wax finish. Although I had given it a light sand, the acrylic u/c would not pass the scratch test. I would have used meths had I known it was wax but decided that it would be...

Fair play. I had never seen a domestic light fitting like that. It looks very much like the following. https://www.lightexpert.co.uk/6x-4ft-led-batten-samsung-led-ip65-36w-5184lm-4000/ It seems to be IP rated, with the end cap being removable so that it can be linked to other similar light...

Good point. Although I am horticulturally challenged I believe that you need the whole weed sticking out so that the weed killer has a bigger "vector" to work on. Insert inappropriate joke from Dorothy Parker- "you can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think"

I do not know the answer. .. Perhaps tell them that you have posted the question on this forum and see what they say. Ultimately, I suspect that they will remind you that you should have masked off the area, but what have you got to lose? Waterbased products can often be removed using...

Only used Colourfil once. I used tape to minimise any overspill. From memory @chirpychippy said that he uses appropriately coloured silicone. I might be wrong though. Best of luck.

There are many people selling it on ebay eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/406693690819 I don't know what the regs are at the moment. I occasionally use methyl chloride paint strippers, that was the active ingredient in the old nitromors formulation (the new Nitromors, I paid £15 for a tiny can...

^ potential spam alert.

Cheapest option would be a guy on a ladder with a mate footing it. A scaffold tower would be about £300ish for cash if you know the right scaffolders. No idea how much a cherry picker will be.

I think that part of the problem is that many customers would not know a good quality of finish from a barely acceptable one when they leave reviews. Additionally, so long as the tradesman turns up and finishes on time, they will often receive a positive review. Marginally disgruntled customers...

Why do you think a VPN is necessary? VPNs will reduce the likelihood of a (different) third party seeing which sites you visited. For example if you are with BT, they will not be able to see the list of sites you visited if you use a VPN but if you are visiting a banking site, the data between...

My, now ex, was ripped off by someone she found on MyBuilder. He took thousands for the bathroom sanitaryware. MyBuilder didn't seem to give a toss. I did some research and discovered that he had 4 outstanding CCJs (from former customers). There was little point joining the queue to sue him...

I used to think the same thing too. Many years ago I was spraying a cabinet with 2 part paint. The finish felt like someone had sprinkled it with an incredibly fine sand. I was planning to sand it with 500g on my random orbital sander but the paint manufacturer's technical help warned me that...

Why not just go through the Sounds app? You don't need to prove that you have a licence, you just need to say that you have one. I listen to BBC content on my phone throughout the day via my BT speaker and mobile data. I simply submit my email address/password and it works. I might be wrong...

Go for a 240 grit then. A cheaper version will something like the following. https://www.toolchimp.co.uk/vaunt-x-115mm-x-5m-240-grit-mesh-net-sanding-roll I haven't use the above though. I recommended a flexible mesh because it is less likely to clog. When abrasives clog, the clogs can rip...
