See what you mean, the washers would help bridge any gap between screw and plate if I were to loosen the screws. Still, the screws aren't too long, I must have inserted them in some wrong way that made them break through.

Right, seems to be 3.5cm diameter, I'll check with the seller.

Am I measuring the correct diameter? Do you mean this, or this,

Sounds like a plan! Thanks. I've got some 502 PVA. However, I'm wondering if the screws are making those broken bits stick out and might not allow the pieces to sit flush, and if I should back the screws off but without making them too loose?

Nope, I make them 15mm. Two of the 4 screws didn't puncture at all. I started the screw holes using a braddle but not so far that the braddle would have done that damage I don't think. Maybe the screws have gone in at a slight angle?

So the good news is that I fixed the hinge on the bottom right of the carcass side panel with a Hafele repair plate. The bad news is that I've damaged the outside! I don't get it, the screws are slightly shorter than the width of the panel. Any suggestions on patching it up? It's not that I'll...

Ah right, I didn't know the plate holes are threaded. All makes sense now!

What I don't get is, and sorry for my ignorance, on the hafele plate for instance, the screws go through the holes of the wardrobe hinge bracket and through he holes of the plate. The plate will obviously be firmly fixed to the carcass but what's going to stop the hinge pulling away from the...

Ok, thanks. So just to clarify, the hafele hinge kit for the hinge on the wardrobe and the ebay one for the hinge on the door, is that right?

Right but that ebay link is good for the door but doesn't look it would work for the bottom right where the broken screw holes are on the frame itself and not the door. Maybe I'd need the repair plate from the eBay link and one of these for the hinge on the frame...

Hello chaps. I've put a wardrobe together (not new) but two of the hinges won't stay fixed, they pop out. The 2 holes in the top of the left door and the two holes in the bottom right of the wardrobe (not door) have obviously lost their integrity. I was going to try stuffing with 2 or 3...

Hi guys. My Baumatic built in microwave has performed flawlessly for 8 years. But since a couple of days ago there is now a god awful buzzing when the door is closed. And when the door is left open, something creepy happens after about 5 minutes, the turntable starts turning very slowly by...

Yeah. These are the 6 colours they do. I guess it's either harvest gold or medium oak.

Awesome. It says measure area height and area width. Being a bit dumb, I guess that means height of panel as area height, (let's say 5 foot) and panel width x 10 panels as area width? I put 5 foot height and 60 foot width and it says I'll need 4.65 litres. That's only I tub! :D Don't know if...

Thanks for the advice JohnD and for the link Johnny, I forgot about the BM stores. My colour of choice is Harvest Gold as I don't want it too dark. I'm looking for a shade of colour to closely match the stain on my shed which was from my Barrettine tin. Or maybe it's better to go darker...

The irony isn't lost on me. The fact is I know there are people that would say a one coat product usually still needs at least two. But it's a good price which is why I mentioned it. Thanks JohnD. Yes, pity about that Wickes product being sold out. I think from your explanations, you're...

Hello all. My fence has never been painted or stained since it was installed a few years ago. It's all in pretty good shape but starting to show some signs of discolouration from weathering so it's time to protect it. I don't know if it was pre-treated from new, I guess it would have been...

That would be great, yeah. I'll pm you my details.

Hah, yeah that's amazing! I'll send you a pm.

Oh you're a gas safe engineer :) This is your job? I'm in Finchley. Starts N3.
