Thanks Iamchamps. Only the smallest angle will work on my sink. Here's what it looks like against the joint. Is it ok and should I pull it back at an angle like my second photo or keep it vertical like in the first photo? Also, does it matter which face of the plastic is in the direction I'm...

I agree, it does look a bit big. I can't find a single Fugi tool to buy without buying a whole kit. Sooooo, how about this Diall one from B&Q? https://www.diy.com/departments/diall-smoothing-sealant-tool/1642133_BQ.prd Looks like a Fugi one I think. Says "Includes a choice of three...

Yeah, I'll practise on something first. But what about the tool I have, using my finger and water retention?

Hello guys. I'm new to re-doing silicone, never used a silicone gun in my life. I spent some time yesterday removing clear silicone from my very small bathroom wash basin. Hard work and none of it came off in one piece, very bitty. And then I put No Nonsense sealant remover on which helped me...

Yep they were cheap. Apparently it's a waiting game, but in two years there's no improvement on mine so I think it's either permanent or I won't see a change in my lifetime. I didn't do the work myself so I cant comment on the details of how it was done it or what was added, but I found this...

I had these front garden slabs put down a couple of years ago but apart from a single slab, they've all got these big spots. Any idea what they are and how to get rid, if it's even possible at all? I thought it was damp showing through but I don't think it is? Sand was put down over the old...

I bought these and will hopefully use them next week, here's hoping for dry weather!

Hello John, Only 2 months late for the update! :D My friend who's an electrician brought his multimeter along and tested it. He said the switch seems fine and when he tested the motor he said he was getting intermittent readings. He couldn't really figure it out but he said it should probably...

Thanks for the replies guys. Hi Ken. I don't think I'll bother with replacing the board to be honest but I'm interested in coating the shed inside and out. I'm going to assume 4 to 5 litres should cover it. I think the shed panels were pre-treated but I was meant to coat it after a few months...

Fair enough. For general treatment, can you recommend what I need to protect the shed against rotting now that the horrible weather will be soon approaching?

I've had my shed up for about 2 years and today I noticed a thin cracked line down the right side door. Can't see any cracking anywhere else. It's superficial but I want to protect it before it gets worse. What's the best remedy? I've not yet coated the shed since it was built, so I'm guessing I...

Many thanks John, I'll give it a go :)

John, I've marked six spade clips. 1 and 2 are presumably the switch inputs and 3 and 4 are presumably the outputs. Do you mean I need to remove the spade clips of 1 and 2 and connect the bare wire ends with 3 and 4? 2 with 4 and 1 with 3? If so, will it work if I use electrical tape to...

Thanks John, glad you liked the video :) Yep, I'm happy to try and bypass the on/off switch. I understand what you're saying about using the mains socket switch to test it. Sorry to sound like such a dummy, but can you tell what I need to do in order to actually bypass the switch, is it...

I found the outer shell easy to open up. I knew I'd get to make use of my drill hex bits and drill extension one day :D It was harder unclipping the white plastic protective inner shell. Anyway, here's a video. I don't know how to proceed from here or where the pressure switch is. Also...

Nah, present was from my brother and he won't have the receipt anymore.

That made me laugh :D

Thanks John. I wouldn't know how to wire the motor directly through a capacitor or bridge terminals, I'm kind of out of my depth here, lol. But I'll take a look inside and maybe take photos to post here for further help. Speaking of Nilfisk, I've been recommended to buy one as they're much...

Thanks John. I first should say I don't know really anything about electrics and don't have a multimeter, so I guess I'll need to buy one to check the switch and find out how to use the meter to check continuity. I'll open it up and remove the guts of it. Is it obvious which one is the...

Hi all. I've got a Karcher K2 basic jetwasher, new, used 3 times and now the motor doesn't turn on at all. I called Karcher and explained that when I tried using it yesterday before the motor died, it was working with good pressure for a few seconds and then the pressure weakened. When this...
