Yes, products like that, or even the cheaper regular expanding foam. If you lay it out on both surfaces and give it a few minutes to expand and go tacky, it bonds well. You'll know if you've left it too long because it skins over and won't stick to you when you touch it Be aware that gun grade...

Perhaps in the last 25 years demand for slotted screws has dropped massively with the ubiquity of cheap, good cordless drivers demanding pozi headed variants and they've moved out of mainstream "goldscrew" grade availability and into specialist manufacture from more expensive brands

Slice it up into slips about 50mm thick, foam the back of the door with expanding foam, foam the slip with expanding foam, leave 2 minutes then press the slip onto the door Once you get into a pattern with the process you'll have an area of foam on the back of the door going tacky, and several...

There is; Burying a wire 50mm into a wall puts it reasonably out of the range of most drill bits used for casual item hanging like shelves or pictures/ornaments, with only more major stuff like adjustable arm TV brackets etc truly requiring bigger fixing.. But more critically it's a rule that...

No, it would cause the RCDs to nuisance trip all the time because an RCD is designed to trip if there is an imbalance in power flows between live and neutral. Bridging two circuits means imbalances would happen often If you're concerned about a loss of power to the freezer, consider dedicating...

I don't bother; put the ceiling boards up first then butt the wall boards up to them with a line of adhesive along the joint. Ceiling board can't sag if it's resting on a wall board One of these makes it easy to butt the board up while you get a few screws into it; Absolutely not. We haven't...

Have you tried a shovel or a hoe? I made a thing for scraping floors years ago that still works well, by cutting the handle off an old wood saw, grinding slots in the blade and mounting it on a T shaped bar of wood (a 3x2 with a piece of ply screwed to it) so the non-toothed side of the blade...

One of the guys at work brushed his teeth and spat the toothpaste into the canteen sink, and the sales manager did her nut about it because she routinely washed her cup in the same sink I'm still not sure what her point was, especially given that when she described her washing process as only...

Small minds Perhaps they never paused to consider their own habits odd, but as anyone who has ever cleaned up a nappy wearing child will know; you just can't get all the **** off a warm surface with dry paper. That last dried smear just doesn't shift unless you go at it with a solvent Your...

We get blockages because the dipsticks of the world treat a toilet like a rubbish bin and dump all manner of things down it other than pee, poo and paper I imagine that countries with narrower piping, who have convinced their populations to dump used toilet tissue in a bin beside the toilet...

I can see how it would be possible using the right jiggling motion and both prongs to lever/walk the gate down using L and N, or even just one pronging the scissors rammed in E and the other in L Whether a 4 year old should have scissors this large is a separate thought exercise ..

Yes. If you make it 2.4x2.6 it'll be better sized for standard lengths of 4x2 crossways, btw

Yes it didn't get much better inside; cable is now 6 inches shorter Aye, I've assessed the rest of it to be serviceable enough for what it will be used for, so happy to save it from landfill.. But it's a reasonable point that if someone is going to treat it like that one has to wonder what...

I wonders how long it would be before someone posted this F*** no. All those things do is turn sockets into a game, and provide an easy way for kids to defeat the very good built in protection gate that seals off the live terminal Simply turn that thing upside down and push it into the earth...

Image uploading seems broken for me at the moment, still trying to edit the post

I was given this.. "It does work, but it's a bit temperamental" they said Anyone else been gifted something that makes you think "Jesus wept.."? :D

Perhaps the end caps have lost their springiness A wrap of electrical tape starting on the tube, round the end cap and finishing on the other side of the tube should secure it enough to get the cover back on, where it will then work in disturbed. They don't get hot (and I wouldn't worry about...

Looks a bit like a blend of Farage and Putin to me
