The weathwrseal was applied to the shed previously on its bare wood with no undercoat or primer and no problems. This was just a piece of wood under the sill I replaced.

I haven't mixed and matched brands as it's undercoat and primer in one can.

You might have something there. I think it might be.

Well, I used Screwfix trade undercoat and primer paint on new wood. Then finished with Dulux weathwrseal and after the first sign of rain it's starting to come off. Why?

I did see some metal paint in Lidl but it was a spray can so didn't buy it as probably not the type spoken about here.

It was very cheap as I got it for free :giggle: Looks good in our garden and when painted old park bench green will look even better. It's worth the effort to me.

What I can't understand is its getting through under the sealant I did both sides of the bracket base that doesn't move. This is ridiculous.

I do have some Rustins rust converter left over from doing the rads and Evaporust but probably not enough. I found Evaporust not very good after using it to be honest and it was darn expensive.

Oh right, I didn't know white vinegar worked, and like you say, cheap. Although to fill a pond with it I imagine I would need a lot. Perhaps spray some on after wire brushing. Thanks.

I picked this up free in the village from a resedent who threw it out. I have seen garden benches selling in similar conditions for hundreds at reclamation yards. It's still very solid but as I like it's rustic astheatic, I still need to treat the rust so at least it holds for many more years...

I had a different filter shower head on my old Triton which I was using. I sold it and bought a more sophisticated one which of course the new Triton doesn't like, even though they are sold in their thousands on Amazon.

hard to say as there are no numbered increments. I was thinking if I got a small piece of hose and attached it to the hole of the overflow with a glue gun , it would divert the water into the bath away from the edge rather than ripping off the sealant.

It clearly doesn't like this way round so perhaps it was on the correct way all along for this model ?

Yes that was the culprit. It happens in our aera often. United Utilities

Since I reconnected everything exactly the red power light started flashing on and off at some point.

Pretty much all retailers do this to be fair.

I get that but I just think it should be easier to replace like all other showers rather than having to get the whole thing out and mess up the sealant. I can do it easy enough but it's just a pain to have to reseal afterwards.

If I cut it away enough (and this wouldn't be easy as it is really thick and strong and will make the finish look a dog's dinner) to release the housing, it will still leave the electrics being exposed to possible water. Also don't want it leaking into the brickwork where the water pipe comes...

Absolutely not. I will contact them now. Again, hanks for your help. Update - Triton say you can unclip the bottom of the plastic housing but of course the sealant is stopping me removing it. What a ridiculous set up!

No, its for leveling a camera on a tripod.
