Im not sure if you can buy them seperately or not.Im quite fortunate where we have mountains of these lying around at work,hence the new nozzle everytime......SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK :lol:

Personally i would just use a new nozzle each time,but in the past i have just let the silicone(assuming you're on about this)cure in the nozzle and then poke it out with a nail at a later date.Ive never had that much of a problem when ive used you're method of putting a screw in the end,maybe...

If you are fitting an intumescent strip(brush type) then a margin of 4mm is required.....

I just found this site,it might help you understand a little clearer http://www.geoffswoodwork.co.uk/timber%20growth.htm

The crown refers to the annular rings of the tree.If you look at the end grain of a piece of timber you will see the growth rings,they will look like small semi-circular lines.Now if a piece of timber is going to 'crown' or cup it will do so in the direction of the line across the width of the...

I got the straight nailer simply because i imported it from the USA & angled versions were not available to the UK market at that time. The nails i use are screwfix own brand 16 guage nails,the shorter length i use are mainly for when im fixing skirtings etc & i have used a grab adhesive...
