Why would they nail down torched mineral felt?

So if not a silicone, is it a MS polymer? I get what you are saying about Colorfil. I have only used it a few times but you have to remove any squeeze out using the solvent immediately. The next time I will try the BB. Thanks for the recommendation.

The larger Blum hinges will open to about 170 degrees, the smaller ones to about 92 degrees. The 170s are ideal if you have pull out drawers (or similar). A 92 hinge will require the drawers to be less wide.

I have watched his videos before, some are very informative, but I see he now tries to get people to go to his Patreon account, which I believe is subscription based. I understand him wanting to maximise his income, but it does come across as a bit "bait and switch". That said, I am not...

Did you use the clamps recommended to hold it in place whilst the product cured?

I have used it a few times. It is a filler and adhesive. It is pretty good at sealing mason mitres on laminated worktops. That said, the underside clamps are doing the heavy lifting with regards to holding the joints tight. You do need to use the small bottle of solvent to remove any excess...

I get what you are saying. Currently my only own Metabo tools are drills and an impact driver. My last purchase was their 18v drill to use with my door lock morticer- the 18v drill has a top RPM of 4000 RPM (2000+ is recommended. Other than some old Dewalt cordless drills, all of my tools are...

Don't shoot the messenger. I merely found the product that you said you wanted ;-)

Cheers. The one I was thinking of is the 76mm Metabo https://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/metabo-cc-18-ltx-bl-cordless-angle-grinder-76mm-body-only-in-metaloc-case Depth of cut is up to 19mm which would be fine but total cost of ownership increases massively if I need to drop another couple of...

Hmnnn, I was thinking of a small cordless angle grinder for cutting cracks in external render. I might have to consider a corded version (if they exist). I only need a 15mm(ish) depth of cut. I had thought that a smaller cutter would be easier to use on a ladder.

In image number 2, it looks like someone has repointed one of the bricks. Hard to tell from the picture but it almost looks like chemfix resin. If you spray the brick with water, does the pointing on the top right of the brick change colour?

They work but it takes a while to get used to them. Ideally you will be sanding a couple of metres away from where you are standing so that the dust doesn't land on you.

The Mirka Handy Sanders are great. I have two different sizes. I also have lots of Festool sanders but the Mirkas are great when I am trying to avoid the noise made by the Festool sanders. I can dial down the speed on the dust extractor which means I am making much less noise.

Cheers mate. I have only recently discovered that Leyland SDM (the biggest merchant in this part of west London) have just started to stock BM paints. I may try the BM at some point. Tnx

Which products would you recommend? And will they clear any sludge on/under the ground floor. I ask because my mum has no drain off lower than the ground floor rads. Apologies for potentially hijacking this thread.

I cannot comment on your machine but when my mum replaced her Miele the new one was about 20mm deeper. It is the only washing machine that I have come across where the lid was less deep than the machine. I had to hack away the plaster. BTW it was not integrated but it sat behind a cabinet door...

The remaining gap will be tiny, about the width of a fingernail. If that is unacceptable then you can put down paper, and use a foam gun with a conical nozzle to fill the gap and then use CT1 once you remove the excess foam. A reasonable gun, plus a canister of foam and gun cleaner will cost...

If you mean where the skirting meets a vinyl strip or finished timber floor, I would recommend leaving a 0.25mm gap (or so) under the sealant to allow for movement. I normally slide 2 layers of lining paper under the skirting first and cut away the excess paper. It means that the sealant will...

Yeah 2 pack filler. You will need to remove/sand the flaking paint first. With stair strings, I normally fill and then use an oscillating saw (or similar) to make a very slight gap between horizontal and vertical surfaces. That however is only when there is evidence of the paint/filler...
