Try some solvol. Don’t go mad. Use wire wool - stainless if you can get it (pan scourer) The sink may be a brushed finish and you don’t want a shine to it.

Is your router a 1/2” one? This one will leave a decorative detail and you will need to consider whether you need rounded corners

I worked in educational AV when SCARTS first came in. People went from stealing the VHS players (we screwed them down) To stealing SCART leads. They were £25 a pop when beer was about £1 a pint

I didn’t have access to the Amazon lights that I fixed But basically there was a two wire dc feed going into an inline circuit board, and a two wire output. The circuit board does all the dimming/colour switching.

Have we established exactly where the break is? I have had a couple of similar lights fail. (Amazon) It’s possibly easier to break open the in line controller (probably just a snap fit) to expose the circuit board . Then cut the damaged cable back towards the lamp and resolder direct to the...

Does your HDD not have HDMI? It should do! What make /model?

If you buy a cheap soldering kit from Amazon ,myou also get heat shrink

If it IS asbestos, (not likely) then it’s now enclosed. No need to worry unless you drill into it and breathe in

Doubt it but for peace of mind a test is cheap. It’s probably animal hair that was used for strengthening the mortar

5mm is nothing anyway, a panel will swell a bit when wet so leave a decent gap Fence panels always go in easier after a heat wave I recently changed my 20 year old panels for new ones from the same small company and all but one slid in. I had to use a planer to shave one panel down. The posts...

I have used industrial Velcro for some applications. It is massively hard to part items once pushed together,, it’s more like Lego than Velcro

A mate of mine was a chemist specialising in paper manufacturing. He spent maybe 5 years working on toilet paper v tissue. He could bore the pants of you talking about the stuff. Bog paper is designed to dissolve, tissue less so. The stuff we had at school was nuclear proof. If they’d clad the...

Cheers I’d probably keep the car until it’s worthless. I was looking at Toyota/Honda or Volvo and maybe Audi. I understand about the lack of underseal, the Japanese don’t salt the roads, They are apparently anal about servicing and spec very highly. My girlfriend’s Honda was opposite...

I know that he and his wife split up, but she remained on the show? Think he went bankrupt at one point?

Why? My aunt had MS and relied on her mobility vehicle to get around. She’d paid taxes her whole working life, apart from a couple of years when the MS made working 5 days a week too difficult. She would have been entitled to a bus pass once she retired, but couldn’t use a bus.

Look on the other side. See where the rad pipes go

I use remote sockets. Mainly because I have them. They use a small remote control. You could tidy it up using a kinetic switch I suppose

I have pierced car grommets in the past when fitting car alarms. I found that a cheap biro case made a handy funnel like tool to feed cable through a grommet. Use a scalpel to make a cross cut and push the “nib “ end into the grommet. Then feed the wire into the pen body. It can be slid over the...
