Hi folks, Is such a product as low temp. solder still available? I need to fill a small gap in stainless steel. No strength or seal requirements, strictly decorative purpose. Any help would be apreciated.

Hi Breezer, As an old man I would say your pipe is good for at least half a century. If it is submerged in ordinary water even longer. Abrasion and atmosphere are the biggest threats. geegee.

Thanks guys, I have printed out the pages on "this", looks like I need to read up a bit when I get opportunity. Once again, thanks for coming to my rescue.

I have a Wickes RWB9 cw control unit in my airing cupboard still set by the previous occupants. I do not have any instructions or manual. Visability of setting panel is very poor and my eyesight is past its best. Do I need some instructions or is the setting fool-proof? The unit is...

Thanks another_sparky, I would guestimate that the pipes were installed some twenty years ago, before I bought the house. There is no staining. Just humps that cannot be rubbed down. I’m trying to make the wall look flatter. Hopefully by applying something with a better covering ability...

I have central heating pipework chased into old plastered walls, both horizontal and vertical runs. Unfortunately, old is the operative word. Plaster depth and age of plaster make it impossible to hide with wallpaper. The main offending wall, is a stair wall which has other bad areas needing...

Thanks DAZB That looks like what I have under the sink. Any tips on how to remove? geegee

I wish to move a one and a half sink unit. I think it is an MFI installation. Problem is the h & c pipes from the mixer tap are connected to the 15mm copper supply pipes with white plastic elbows I have not come across before. They are slightly smaller than average compression fittings but do...

To any interested parties. I have now sourced an acceptable electric boiler (in principle). The Amptec ones range from 4 to 12 Kw., are just over a metre in length and about 9cm. square (4''). Unfortunately, I do not think they are compatible with my rads., which are all individually...

Thanks Oilman & Breezer, My hope was to just swop the C.H. gas boiler with an electric one and to position it in a better place, (not on the kitchen wall as at present). Beginning to look like a pipe dream.

Size, do not know but it runs 6 rads. and hot water happily. Three bed terrace. Four. Yes. Wish to remove gas boiler myself and happier with electrics. Yes, if similiar to gas boiler. Only Economy 7 thanks for info, I will try the net later.

The only domestic one I have found so far is over three feet cubed. Manufactured by Amptec, Basingstoke. I was hoping for something a tad smaller.

I am considering replacing my elderly mains gas boiler with an electric one. There seems to be little choice. Pointers would be much appreciated.

gawd, how green can you get. Brought a new bath home today, a white enamelled steel one to replace a fibre glass one. On unpacking I learn that it needs "bath anchors" to fix it. I've no idea what or where to get these. Polite advice would be appreciated.
