Best of luck. Did they say if you can touch in the sealer after spot sanding? With some types of sealant you will get a halo effect at the edges. If it is a wax type product you might be ok. I have never worked on a concrete worktop but my current customer has a polished concrete floor. It...

Fair enough but you posted that speakers do not require a power supply, as I pointed out, that is not true of active speakers. I have no idea if the OP has active or passive speakers.

Why not tape a piece of lining paper or cardboard along the length of the light fitting facing the bed. Try 8" tall to begin with, that might be enough to ensure that the green LED is not visible from the bed. Alternatively, recommend that he drinks more beer/lager. After a skinfull, I can...

Passive speakers do not require power but active speakers do. Back in the days when I lived with "she what finally kicked me out", our B&O plasma had 2 active surround speakers, an active 1300w subwoofer, two active front facing speakers plus the speakers built into the telly. The picture...

As above. Hopefully, the specialist will be able to find glass to match the other 3 given that the broken glass doesn't look like it matches.

Continuity tests will only help if you isolate each of the regular culprits. By way of an example, I was recently asked to fault check an amplifier. I kept seeing continuity... until I removed the L&N running up the PCB. Once I removed them, there was no continuity "down stream". I am not a...

I am a decorator. I too suspect that the blue paint is getting hotter than the white paint. Wooden panels (in theory) can float in the door to deal with expansion and contraction. You could use a sharp chisel to remove the old paint seal where the panel meets the moldings and then use a...

Best of luck. Fingers crossed.

Jesus wept, you have numerous tradesmen offer you advice for over a year. You ignore their advice... and on the probability of balance you will be back here again in the winter, complaining about the rot. You either need to replace the timber or splice in new timber. Sorry, I don't like being...

As per @wayner 's post Touprelith F will work. It is relatively soft. The finish is also (very, very) slightly gritty. If you want a smoother finish, perhaps consider Toupret Multitough (AKA as Fibrex). Where it meets the old edges of paint, it will feather out more smoothly. Fibrex is...

I often recommend OSMO products but in my opinion the UV protection oil is oversold. It is only suitable for vertical surfaces and and it only has a UV factor of 12. I guess that your cedar turned grey. Over the years I have spoken to a few companies about sealing the likes of cedar. Each...

Sorry, couldn't be arzed to read all of the replies... nevertheless... just prior to the covid pandemic, my stepfather was advised that his peripheral vision had decreased. My big sis contacted DVLA and asked if he was legally allowed to continue driving. They told her that an optician needed to...

Not a payment schedule? I am only a lowly self employed decorator, materials are often between 10-20% of the final cost. Building work will often have higher material costs and, potentially, subcontractor costs. Your builder clearly trusts you. Fair play to both you and him. In the (hopefully)...

Sorry. Off hand I cannot recommend a supplier.

At my age, after a skin full, I probably need more than 5 mins....

Stainless steel, or aluminium sounds like a good option. You could use as MS polymer such as OB1 to hold it in place. There are numerous online companies which will cut it to size and polish/round the sharp edges.

I had two different humidistat extractor fans in my previous home. One was a Manrose, from memory it might have been the XF100H. It had a jumper on the PCB switch from high to low speed. I left it on high speed. The noise didn't bother me, I was more concerned about moisture. I jerry rigged it...

In my experience as a decorator... 90% of plumbers should not be allowed anywhere silicone- note to the descent plumbers here, whom I often defer to, I am including you in the 10%, not the 90%

I suspect that you are talking about hob extractor hoods rather than extractor fans. I might be wrong though given that you then mention your Manrose fan. A friend was annoyed about the nose that his stainless hood made so he sourced fire resistant pads that he could glue to the inner part of...

As a Londoner, I had to endure years of IRA terrorism. I didn't tolerate all Irish people being tarnished as terrorists. Equally, I will not tolerate all muslims being tarnished as terrorists. That has nothing to do with being left or right wing. Anecdotal, but the Muslims that I know are...
