    4 reactors on fire!!!

    Bet it DOES ! :( sometime, somewhere, perhaps not exactly the same as this one but... Also, not hearing a lot about other reactors hit by the crisis - how are they doing? We have a nuclear engineer in our midst. Luv the idea. Open/close valve as necessary to keep them cool. Way much...

    Help! Rescuing PVA glue stained skim plaster?

    Using a wet sponge to remove unwanted PVA does work. Only used this method in the corners to remove unwanted PVA from the previously skimmed walls. Ie at either side of the newly skimmed wall. And only very soon after the wall has been skimmed, so the adhesive hasn’t been sitting on the wall...

    Have a look at RFConcepts website. http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/index.htm Plenty of choice there and quick delivery. I purchased a B&W low light bullet camera from them ages ago, as a kit. Just plugged straight into TV using phono plugs. It was something like 0.003 lux or similar and...

    Insulting a stud wall?

    TBH mountainwalker haven't tried that method. May give it a go in the future to see how effective it is compared with heavy density stuff. Have you had direct experience of both methods? Is compressing the normal insulation giving good, or as good as, results? Agreed on the price side of...

    Smoother varnish

    I used the pads to varnish several doors and preferred the pads to brushes. Felt they gave a better finish and application was quicker. Can be a bit awkward in the fiddly corners though. Didn't try the rollers as I had bought the "perfect finish" complete with the pads so decided to stick...

    Smoother varnish

    Have you seen the Ronseal "perfect finish" pads ? Basically they are foam pads with a layer of tiny bristles, the foam pads being held by a plastic hand grip. The bristles are actually quite soft. I'm sorry but that's the best way i can think of describing them at the moment. You get the...
