I understand acetone can soften and harm some plastics as well? I've already tried that and yes, the bigger half a mm spots come off but others don't, hence the nail brush, a very mild scourer, soapy water, 'Elbow Grease' the spray stuff etc., One chair has a thousand tiny spots on the seat...

I have some retro Schreiber dining chairs with black plastic/vinyl seat and back pads. Spares that we drag out at Christmas which were acquired over 20 years ago. On some of them there is roller overspray, white emulsion I presumed, dozens of 1mm spots that I thought would come off with a bit of...

....and your point is?

I'll stand corrected but I think he was making the point that based on averages, there should be more Muslim Nobel Prize Winners?

Yes, but there's a marked difference when one talks about percentages, reasons etc., and Zero! There are for instance, very few Eskimo 100m runners and you don't have to be a scientist to work out why ;)

There's been 9 Muslim winners of the Nobel Peace prize, the latest in 2023.

I've just cleaned a block paving area with exactly the same problem and used a Nilfisk pressure washer with their Turbo Nozzle which cuts right through the weeds. You will have to think about re-sanding to replace any that's been blown out of the joints. PS: We also blew over them with some...

I won't be taking it down as the road side, when given a good manicure looks damn good. The back's a different matter:giggle:

I missed your post but bought the saw and nipped round the corner to buy the Bosch blades. Great minds and all that...:giggle:

After much thought and a bit of research - YouTube - I'm going to get a corded Mac Allister Reciprocating saw from B&Q. It will do the job on the dead Leylandii branches as I won't need the elbow movement of a manual saw, I've also got some pallets to cut down and can see it coming in handy for...

Einhell is in Germany............happy to help...:giggle: Whilst design and development of Einhell power tools takes place in Germany, their products are largely produced in China. The manufacture of these products is supervised by German engineers and technicians who ensure all products are...

I'm looking at the single handed chainsaws with a 15cm blade but hear what your saying.

I'm not loyal to any brand which makes battery sharing troublesome and I tend to buy corded as infrequent use nearly always means charging before use. The issue I have with brands comes from working in retail a while back, where I learnt what corners are cut to keep prices down whilst retaining...

Cheers.... Initial purchase will be to tackle one particular job. The hedge is one sided, the rear having been cut back to accommodate a garden building about 16' long. This was done quickly a few years ago and the cut wasn't close to the trunk leaving dozens of hardened protruding 'prongs' and...

Buy good, buy once they say, but with mini chainsaws ranging in price from £20 on Amazon to £190+ for name brands like Stihl, and everything in between I'm looking for genuine reviews from people who actually have one. This for very occasional home use to tackle a Leylandii hedge, old Roses...

Vertical overlapping boards. It was built as a garage around 70 years ago! Much of the timber cladding has been replaced, which is thinner than the original used.

Many thanks, but there are gaps between the featheredge boards.

Just to clarify.........I do use it to store tools and yes, some do get a bit of fine rust on them, but this takes years so not plagued with condensation. I'm asking now because I've a few hundred quid's worth of Makita power tools I'm looking to set up on a bench, to make it more of a workshop.

I've a large wooden shed, around 15' x 8', a former garage so nice and strong, but it's clad with feather edge board with natural gaps that come and go with the weather. It's waterproof but not ideal for keeping tools in during the winter months as it gets damp. I'm looking at putting some...

A belated thankyou. I had a thin plastic dust sheet and that done the job. I'm no closer to sorting it but some of the grout has receded so aim to take a closer look after the summer.
