A set square set at 45 degrees and a hacksaw. Old school but simple

Now I know why my "thanks" score is low!

I don't usually make such obvious postings!

Will try harder in future!

thanks and what's the best way to join lagging round a tee piece? Is silver foil lagging so needs to be neat.

Cut it in a V shape like this

Best diagram I could do

You can keep your set squares and mitre blocks, hacksaw and guesswork.


Then cover it all in Isogenopak, hides a larger multitude of sins than silver foil tape!

This will do a proper job. Might add a bit to the overall cost though. View media item 71452
