hi all, i inherited an engineered oak floor in my lounge, its in good condition with only a few heel marks no deep scratches and has a laquer finish. over the last year or two it has become very orangey! i want to stain it to an american black walnut colour. does anyone know whats best...

Thanks pens. Enclosure is a bit tight already. Thanks for all the suggestions guys but i think ill ring them tommorrow and get them to send out 6 of the 32amp relays that i originally wired it for. That will save me and you guys all the hassle!

Im only a 'one man band' and the wholesaler is an independent so prob the worst combination!!

Thanks ericmark. I have no problem getting a replacement contactor that will do the job without bridging but im just annoyed that they have supplied this that wont work unless i link it out. That in itself is no big deal but when you cant find anything to use to do the job properly then it...

Ha ha!! sorry coljack i hadnt looked on there site!! only got the paperwork supplied infront of me and theres no photo of the contactor in it only the relay. Well theres no make on it only the number SMC-2540-230 I tried searching but nothing as of yet

Thanks to you to ericmark. I looked at fork and finger crimps earlier but still wont work. Maybe ill just back these and get 32 amp contactors and save myself the hassle!

Thanks electronics uk. Do you know of anywhere that i could get something to use as a link??

This is the problem. There saying its feasable to bridge the poles and it wil switch the required load, i was just trying to confirm this before i waste my time connecting it all up only to find once the new supplies go in it doesnt!!! Even if it is possible, as you say you wont get 2x 6mms...

Hi ericmark. The water heating is being done by 2x immersions which are not conected to this system!!!! They are panel heaters 1kw in bedrooms, hallway and kitchen, 1.5kw in lounge and 0.5kw towel rail in bathroom. Because this is a new build its really well insulated for heat and sound...

Thanks Steve. Each apartment has 6 heaters total load 6kw. The thing is it has been wired to the diagram given to me at the start of the job which was set up for one 32 amp relay doing all the switching. All the cables have been drilled through ply in the relevant positions for c.u, relay...

The heating system he opted for were panel heaters controlled by a central room stat. I wired the system...

Yes very true! Iv seen some which have just been smashed up tight with a hammer!! Like i said my skirting is square with no profile so no need to scribe!

But we all know you dont mitre internal angles B.A!

Thanks for the advice B.A. But one end of the skirting butts up to the newel post and the other is an internal corner. Also my skirting is just square edged with no profile!

Thanks jason, I think im stuck on this one! maybe ill rip the skirting down to 14mm on this short run and use the hinges you have suggested. Many thanks for the quick reply
