Brilliant thanks. I think it's on the lock shield side since it doesn't get hot and the TRV does but as you say it could be that it's not getting round.

Ah right and then just use the filling valve to push the water around the system? Thanks James

Hi, I haven't done that yet as I only saw it after I had put the cleaner in and it was working around the system. How do I electrically isolate the boiler while doing this? I can do this when I flush the system at weekend when the cleaner comes out. Thanks James

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? The cleaner has now been in for a week and a half and still the issue is persistent with one side's valves being red hot and the other being cold and the radiator is still showing the same symptoms. Thanks James

Great thanks. :) The other half wants it making out of pine and coloring so it will match the rest of the furniture in the room. So I will do the danish oil or one of the waxes as suggested if it doesn't come out quite right she will just have to live with it! Personally I haven't worked with...

Thanks do you mean for the stand? Would the boards I am currently looking at work for my purpose or would I still need another board?

Thanks. I was thinking of using 30mm thick pine which is roughly about 220mm wide which will be roughly around half the size of the circumference. The only things which will be on it are drinks and a couple of remotes at the most as I will be grooving out some cup holders. I was also thinking...

Here is the crudest drawing of what I mean. Where the ovals would be a semi circle. The rectangle would be the joining piece and would be a mortise and tenon joint to both the top and bottom. That's my thinking currently anyway. Does it make sense what I am trying to achieve? Thanks James

Hi I am not sure what you mean about prototype them before they went out? Currently this project is very small and I am just looking for ideas really of what sort of profiles exist so I can see them. Do you mean make them all up before hand and then make the real thing? I am not limiting...

Just been having a read on the internet would balancing the system help? I have the the TRV vale which is red hot to touch and the opposite the lockshield which is cold. On the other radiators they are both red hot could this be an unbalanced system? Thanks James

Thanks does that have a table or is it a case of going through the catalogue?

Basically its two semi circles with a board joining them. Does that explain it better?

Hello, I am looking at making some small glass holders for presents (next year!) and was looking for a table which shows all the different types of router profiles which can be made from various cutters. This is for my own reference but also so that I can choose a profile I like for the various...

Yes I appreciate that it does say to flush out after use which I will be doing. I am also having some work done early next year in the bathrooms and the plumber is going to fit one for me as I don't currently have one in place. I have also turned the heating up on the boiler to max which seems...

Sorry just seen the last post! I have put in a system cleaner and have some inhibitor as well for after it has hopefully worked its magic. I opened all the radiators fully yesterday and left the heating on for it to circulate. I have today turned all the other radiators off and left the...

Hello, I have another post about joining boards and this is what it is going to be used for. Essentially I am going to be making something similar to this: https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/Dy0AAOSw9GhYe5pM/$_86.JPG With a semi circular top and bottom without the legs. The...

Oh right its more to give it some colour and some protection from a couple of glasses or some drinks spilled. Would it deal with this? I am looking at this from B&Q: http://www.diy.com/departments/colron-refined-antique-pine-danish-oil-0-5l/127885_BQ.prd I have also read you use the...

So would the above link not be suitable for my needs and would I be able to apply danish oil to colour and protect it? Thanks James

Thanks for that response its very informative. I have however today just found this: https://www.jastimber.co.uk/27mm-pine-board Which seems to be the size I need. I presume since its just pine I can use danish oil on it to finish it? Thanks James

Hi Yes its defiantly varnish as my dad varnished it. That's fine I will just see if I can get the matching colour and go over it. Can you put Danish oil on laminated pine board? Thanks James
