I took your advice and looked at data sheet - it does say for Crown Trade Clean Extreme Matt to use this as the mist coat & top coat.

Because it's a kitchen ..... and advice is 'kitchen & bathroom' paint (or the TRADE equivalent eg Clean Extreme) you are right I don't particularly want a sheen. I'm open to better options if any.

I am thinking to use Trade white matt thinned for Mist coat, and probably Crowne Trade Clean Extreme for 2 top coats

Have a new plaster ceiling in klitchen, will leave 2 weeks then get it painted, the approach on Dulux website as below, but Painter is saying this is old way, and now should be all Vinyl matte. >>> Mix and Apply a Mist Coat Create your mist coat using a standard contract matte emulsion (which...

Agree, and I have ordered the item.

It’s not a rubber type grommet I want though. I’ll give it a try.

I am needing to run some data cables from a cupboard to an adjoining shelving unit. Drilling the holes is easy enough it’s through 2 x 20mm MDF walls. It would make sense to have some some of ‘top hat’ style bush to line the hole. Something like attached, but smaller (around 20mm) is there a...

I am intending to replace some wooden decking. This time with composite … but having never bought it, what are good value boards, that are dimensionally & UV stable. Welcome makes to consider or avoid.

I did a slight mix of technique, here is detail for anybody that needs to do this in future. Broke away the inner races of old bearing to leave just the outer shell, put a slot across it with a slitting disk in an angle grinder Put new Bearing in a sealed bag in Freezer overight -18C Use a...

Already tried YouTube, only one showed up which was hitting it in with club hammer … just can’t risk damage to bearing.

If I knew a local garage I’d happily do that.

I have an SBS trailer, that uses AlKo braked hubs - with sealed parallel bearings. One of the bearings needs replacing. By a bit of warming up of the drum, and use of a large socket was able to drift out the old bearing. I need to fit new bearing, with no risk of damage. I don’t have an...

I have EE Broadband Gigabit Fibre. It comes with their Smart Hub 6 Plus I connect to some SMART outdoor sockets - worked OK for a year, but they now can't connect to the network. I have an EE WiFi extender in the nearest room of the house. Connectivity works if I bring Smart sockets inside, but...

The existing Ni-Cad are AA I have AAA which are higher capacity Ni-MH I have just ordered a double AAA holder, maybe it will fit, worth trying.

Nope, if you look at picture, they are soldered to the board, and all this slides into a plastic module - part of the handle. Don't think any AAA holder would fit in space

The new ones I could use are defn. NiMH I'll try the swap.

I have a hair trimmer ... which is rechargeable, but has a life of about 1-2 mins max. Removed the power pack and it is fitted with 2 x AA 600mAh NiCAD batteries I have some new NiMH AAA batteries that have a larger capacity (850mAh) Anybody had experience of changing NiCAD to NiMh. The power...

Ok I’ll do some research, not heard of this ‘load shedding’ Thanks

I have 100A supply so that side is OK ... hadn't thought of Star Delta, was thinking of just double pole double throw - but I'll take a look may be cheaper. - Thanks

What would be logical is default power to Sauna .. then activating contractor would switch instead to Sauna heater, reverting to Sauna heater as soon as shower finished. So it would be 28A default load (when it’s required as on thermostat) Then a 40A for shower only if switch operated. At no...
