Odourless white spirits

Looking on the US sites, 100% silicone appears to be a brand name. The specs say it’s RTV100 based. Am I correct in thinking a glazing/frame sealant is an equivalent or a silicone based adhesive ?

Yes for the amount needed, very expensive compared to DIY

Some of the pointing below the damp-course is in need of re-pointing on the full sun side of the house. Some above too. The house built 1982, do I use a lime or cement mix and the mortar is redish sandstone colour. Strange as this section of wall below a 16’ window is the only wall need doing of...

Thanks, The wall had a heavy Anaglypta paper for some 20 years and when removed some of the original painted surface on the plasterboard that was used for sealing from when the house was built came away exposing the plasterboard paper, leaving these large circular craters. Forgot to mention I...

Want to skim over a wall that has wallpaper removed leaving craters and emulsioned in the past and then re-emulsion the wall. Seen on YT that skimming over a painted wall can bring up air bubbles on the surface and a pig to clear. Would some pva mixed in help as a friend did when re-plastering...

Yes, not alot of any help just said Wickes and Travis Perkins parted. Found out today, Gower supplied Wickes with kitchens. Had to quote Wickes their code number of the panel required and they checked with Gower for stock check. Gower would not deal with me as they have an exclusive contract...

Contacted Gower about the panel. But because Wickes supplied the kitchen although some 13yrs ago. They could not do anything as they have a exclusive contract with Wickes and to deal with them only. I have to go to Wickes for them to contact Gower to check what stock they have and if in stock...

Had a complete Kitchen designed and fitted by Wickes in 2012. An end panel has been damaged by a water leak from WM. Wickes of today no longer do the colour. From the order sheets the colour is either ‘Lavello or Navello’, approx 900H x 600W x 50 thk. Searched for a panel of same colour in...

Thanks guys, Adjusted the sensitivity range to a greater distance range and working fine. Would the cold affect the MW as in warmer times its fine.

Have Eterna led lamp some 10 yrs old with a microwave motion sensor. Anyone know of a replacement as the sensor is no longer available.

Thanks, Its abit beyond me at this stage going Smart. The airing cupboard upstairs has the HW and CH motorised valves also the Pump for the system, also the HW cylinder with its thermostat strapped to its side. The kitchen has the boiler and controller to its side and the hall has the wired wall...

Thanks The boiler and controller are side by side in the kitchen, hot water cylinder and pump in the airing cupboard. If thats what you mean ?

Thanks Wiring center - meaning ?

My current thermostat located in the hall with kitchen doorway along side and lounge doorway entrance opposite. As every cold spell/winter the thermostat is affected by the warmth of kitchen meal preparations and the lounge becomes cold. Would like a wireless thermostat in the lounge to...

Last question for 2024. As said earlier the hose from the existing fan, it raised from the fan then dropped into a valley then back up over the insulation down to its exit vent in the soffit. I’ve laid loft boards to access across the loft to install the inline fan. Because of the hose in the...

Trying to find a spray paint from halfords for my model railway. My store stocks mostly metallic paints. I can find a solid colour near what I'm looking for. But the RAL code is not listed on their web page, just the manufacturers code. A web page in the model railway world suggests that James...

I know this was many moons ago. But I fail to see if 22mm hoses at the pump are any better than that of 15mm, when both hoses use 12mm bore flexible hoses and the swaged plastic fittings both ends have 8mm bore with further flow restrictions ???

No, Some manufactures specify/supply 15mm or 22mm hoses to have full supply flow to the their pumps. Some hoses are without isolating valves and some with. On a 15mm flexi hose supply you could have in-effect have a supply through a 8mm hole restricting the flow. On 22mm flexi hose supply you...
