And re Lidl/Aldi: I have missed perusing the 'middle of Lidl' this last year but I think I have also saved a lot of money!

Thank you everyone. The reason I chose the Varta Universal+ was that it doesn't need to charge in pairs and it could recognise duff ones etc. But it seems that the majority of brands only charge in pairs, so if the population at large can cope with it then I should be able to aswell.

Thank you everyone. I think i should send it back then. It was from Amazon (not marketplace) so at least returning it is easy, though annoying. Any recommendations for a replacement charger? I need to charge A AA D batteries. And it would be useful if it had a dud battery symbol, though not...

I have just bought a Varta universal charger+ This one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Charger-devices-detection-defective/dp/B084RTW66R/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=varta+universal+charger%2B&qid=1625215477&s=electronics&sr=1-4 But it has an EU 2 pin plug on it and no adapter. How...

Thanks. I've got a tin of acrylic primer! I suppose I get confused because I don't really know what acrylic paint is or its properties. I read about acrylic primer, acrylic matt, acrylic eggshell... My guess is that they are moreorless the same thing except some have more mattifyng agentsls...

Hello I've used easyfill on 2 dry lined walls, with plasterboard on the walls and multipro in the window reveals. I'm using Leyland hard-wearing Matt for the finish. Can I use this watered down as a mist coat do you think? Multipro advice is to prime the edges with acrylic primer, but I think...

I googled. Can't find the answers to compare. Thats why i asked.

Just wondering if anyone knows how the U value of PB compares with MgO board? Let's say: 9.5mm PB vs 9mm MgO board I'm really limited for space on the top of a window reveal and want to know if using MgO would make any difference to the insulation level. What do you think? Thanks

Oh. Id better get it covered back up quickly then. :whistle:

If I use aerogel blanket on the top reveal, how will I attach the pb/Mg0? Can I use adhesive in both layers?

As I said before.... This isn't so much of a cold bridge, more like a cold express super highway!

I waited till the plaster was completely off before taking the photos to give a better view.

It's a narrow window frame. 52mm total. I didn't take any good photos. Will take some tomorrow.

This isn't so much of a cold bridge, more like a cold express highway. I need super insulation in my sparce 10mm!

That's me then. Not sensible. :) I've seen 6mm MgO board for sale, although again, not locally. But can't find 3mm anywhere. Is it the same thing as cement board? Or tile backer board? That can be painted I'd you use the smooth side out. Why is everything so difficult to buy in small...

We're just hacking away at it now. Looks like maximum 20mm. I've seen you can get Spacetherm with MgO which is 13mm. Very expensive, but no point me doing half a job. Online, delivery is over £35 though. Don't they stock it at local builders or anywhere?

10mm plaster straight onto the top metal lintel. Sides are 12mm plaster.
