Glad it worked out but you are lucky. Some water based floor varnishes etch into the substrate coating. Years ago, my mate John the cabinet maker asked me to paint the large wardrobe that he built at home. 80% of my work used to be painting his cabinets for his customers. Against my...

Years ago we had a ceramic villeroy and boch basin. I had to drill the hole. It wasn't a biggy. I drilled the hole in a bit of MDF and used a hot melt glue gun to hold the mdf down to the top of the basin.

Yeah, they are cheap, they only sell their own branded booze (and from memory,even the soft drinks are their own brand). Although I maligned their laptop policy, as a brewery/chain, they are not money grabbing profit maximisers. They are still family owned. They seem to have a Victorian ethos...

I can't fight my way out of a paper bag... there have been a few times when I have played the mosquito noise on my phone when little s-hits have been playing loud music on the bus. I make sure that they are too young to lamp me. The "mosquito" noise is a high frequency noise that most people...

I can't think of any pubs that would allow punters to play loud music on their phone/tablet. I suspect the statement from Wetherspoons is just a PR thing. "Wetherspoon pubs are an oasis of tranquillity" - Jesus, who are they kidding? I pop in to 'Spoons from time to time but in many, but not...

She and the path of Dente by Enda Mulloy He is one of my best mates and a talented artist. Please give it a listen.

I think you might need @crank39 to help you. Can you take a photo from further back so that he can see the whole hinge.

If the OP goes for tonk strips (eg Altro), they will need the raised version- the flat version is designed to be routed into sheet materials. To be honest, from memory we used either 3.5mm or was it 3.0mm screws? Given that the OP wants to fix into the bricks they will need 5mm or 4.0-4.5mm...

As above. Or sand the scratch flat but you will need to remove 1-2mm(?) of timber.

Another option is a tripod ladder. It will be less versatile than the one recommended by @^woody^ . A basic one with an adjustable long middle leg will be slightly cheaper but if you want adjustable front legs, you are back in the same price group.

I suspect that you are correct regarding letting a bit of foam out every now and then. And, perhaps when I leave it on scaffolding, maybe I should use a dark tarp to hide it from the sunlight.

Your link is bad I suspect you mean a DA sander such as https://www.dewalt.co.uk/en-gb/product/dcm848n-xj/18v-xr-brushless-125mm-dual-action-polisher-tool-only Rather than just spinning, it oscillates as it spins (AKA random orbital). It reduces the risk of circular score marks. Apropos the...

Yeah, I do spray the end of the gun after each use. The only time I used the acetone canister to clean a gun, the gun wouldn't work when I next tried to use it. It was a free Bond-It gun that came with a pack of 6 canisters of foam. The plastic ball bearing was frozen and the gun could not be...

A couple of years ago I purchased the following Roughneck foam gun (£30). https://www.toolstation.com/roughneck-contractor-foam-gun/p14388 It has some PTFE fittings (needle and canister holder) but not as many as the more expensive version. I went to use it today. No foam would come out, the...

Do you mean the following type https://www.elsons.co.uk/faics300scncfaithfull-prestige-combination-square-set-300mm-12in Almost £50 though. If so, I don't think you will be able to purchase generic parts- that said I have never tried.

If the OP has active speakers, one of the cables might have been a power cable. You made an assumption, I too made an assumption. I accept that did, why can't you?

Not my area of expertise but the fact that someone used a screw to hold down the lead looks a bit worrying. Someone like @crank39 might be worth deferring to.

Fair play. Please let us know how you get on. Are they recommending that you use a regular angle grinder? I have previously considered buying a polisher but couldn't justify the >£500 cost for a product that I might use once every three years.

Perhaps you should ask the OP if they have active or passive speakers. You made an assumption, which might or might not be correct. Other people might read the threads at some point in the future and assume that no speakers require power.
