Marcrist do very good diamond core drill sets Scrit

There is a need to thoroughly clean out all the dead timber with a steel wire brush to get rid of all the "punky" timber before applying the hardener. If you do that, then use an epoxy filler as opposed to a softer filler (which can be slightly porous) then once sanded and sealed it should hold...

You have to make them. Personally I'd consider getting a plasma or laser profiling firm to cut thenm out of steel from my CAD drawings, weld on the lugs, polish and plate for a nice finish - but then again I have a plasma cutter about 7 or 8 miles down the road and a good chrome-plater nearby...

Something like this, BA? Scrit

Yes, that's a lip and spur bit Scrit

Hardwood lippings glued secured with a loose tongue. Not a commercial product, but a professional joinery solution. To be honest, though, WBP ply is not really meant to withstand extremes - for that you need to specify the much more expensive marine plywood, or go to an all hardwood construction...

Any idea what make/model? Some designs run on for years whilst others are discontinued after only one season. There are a heck of a lot of suppliers out there all with their own distinctive ranges, so unless you know who made it originally you'll struggle. Even if you do know, you'll still...

Liquid soap, the sort used for hand washing. Washing-up liquid is a detergent and the solvent action is more aggressive, so if you must use that then dilute well and rinse off with a cloth dampened with cold water. In the longer term, though, detergents will reduce the shine on your doors - same...

Lip and spur bits are sometimes sold as brad point bits. Even Bosch sell them via B&Q and City Electrical Factors sell them, too, so they are widely available. There is a tendency to call them "wood bits", although that term covers just about anything Scrit

One company which makes the hardener is BondaVoss. Their material is on sale at many good builders' merchants (not my two local ones, but then they're a bunch of idiots :roll: ). This material is a water-reactive polyurethane so you need to wear gloves at all times (it turns the skin hard and...

It's a black worktop, isn't it? If that is the case then use the black joint colour or a good runny black silicone such as the Evode one. There's no such thing as a perfect match, which is why fitters tend to carry a small selection. If the joint is good and tight it is not really visible Scrit

Is there anything else you carry in your tool kit that you maybe want to tell us about? :shock: :wink:

We've been looking at taking out a gas fire in the living room and putting in a wood burner. I've been advised to have the chimney swept and to consider getting a flue liner, but obviously because the gas fire vents at the rear into the existing chimney we know that it can't be blocked (or we'd...

Why not buy it a nice box of Milk Tray and take it to the pictures, then? :lol: What exactly do you an to treat it for? Woodworm? Dry rot? Flaky French polish? And a few details about age and condition, finish, etc might help us understand what you are trying to achieve Scrit

That's really the issue, Jason. I've never come across a stand-alone washer which will fit under a standard 600mm deep worktop without hanging out at the front - in which case how do you get the washer in then screw the Magic thingummibobs to the side? Assuming the OP is limited to using off the...

Unfortunately I find this doesn't always work and that you'll sometimes get break-out or chipping if the lamination is less than perfect. Hence my original advice. Scrit

You could just as easily screw a 60mm wide piece of edges MFC down each side of the opening and use conventional hinges. The angle iron means that the opening will have to be wider than 600mm to get the washer in, and the next size up is likely to be 700 mm (300+400mm unless you can find 350mm...

Even at that they're still expensive enough to make me think twice about the need to have them Scrit

There speaks a man who's never used Business Link, methinks! :lol: Scrit
