My kitchen cabinet door laminate has come off. The kitchen is of an unknown make. The door dimensions are 500 mm x 715 mm. I was wondering whether I could glue back the laminate and if so what glue to use? Alternatively, if anyone knows who makes this door and where I could get a replacement...

Will this paint do the trick?

E It's a party wall so the other side is the neighboring flat

The new paint is matt emultsion but I don't think the wall was previously painted with silk emultion but I can't be certain. There may have been filler used before painting but I'm not sure about that either. The stains coming through may be damp from an old leak that was fixed. Wall may not be...

My flat has been repainted a week or so ago and this bit here the new paint is peeling off. It's not new plaster. Can anyone say why this happened.

I have neither so I'd like to get one that I can do things mortice joints etc. You mention that you use Thor Nylon Faced hammer for delicate work. Which of these look good for more heavy-duty work like mortice joints?

Which wooden mallet would you recommend for woodworking which my (very sharp) chisels? The make may not matter but what is a good size would be a good one for my first one?

I got the light in the UK

It comes with a carabiner clip. Will a threaded hook do as an attachment?

I'd like to make a tripod from 2x2 timbre. It's about a metre tall and 60 cm wide at the base. I'd like to hang a grow light (it weighs about 1 kg) from this tripod so the joint needs to be strong. What joint would you suggest?

I definitely need a flexible adhesive for a couple of floorboards that's going under two doors. It like to glue the board (the adjescent boards will be nailed to joist) to stop it from moving or clunking as you said. By normal silicone do you mean a silicone bathroom sealant or similar?

I have a few floorboards that I need to lay over a steel beam. What adhesive should I use for that. If you can recommend an adhesive that's sold widely, e.g., in Screwfix or Toolstation, then that would be preferable. Thanks
