Hi Guys With reference to the comments about sanding sealers, could you clarify for me (by pm if you don't want to name names in open forum) which type of sanding sealer, who makes it and if you're diluting it or doing anything else to it? Whilst the solids part of the sealer will invariably...

Whilst generally true, and I don't want to dispute anything about this product in particular, can I just point out that some products will behave differently when sprayed. I'm thinking of a two-pack polyurethane that used to be made by a company I know of. Brushing it was fine, as was spraying...

Chuckle chuckle... mind you, I'm just excited I answered a computer question!

Well if it can be done with stains I'd be interested to learn about it, marbling effects are normally achieved with paint... and I've never tried it so I can't offer help on that one.

Hi Steve This is so emabarrassingly simple (goes with my knowledge of computers) that I almost don't want to post it, but I will because it's how I have my system set up although I haven't been caught out by it... I assume that when the desktop system is turned off there is still power going...

Hi Is there a woodcarving equivalent to the AWGB? Thanks Terry

Hi All Many times in the past members here have suggested having a stand at one of the national shows to promote this forum, or the idea of holding a UKW show or several other permuatations. I've mentioned elsewhere about a new show being held in Spalding at the end of May (see...

The correct answer to this is after they've been taught about it at school... Although strangely enough I have very clear memories of this coming up in a homework question when I was 13 and I didn't have a clue what it meant. I was sure it hadn't been taught at school so I asked my parents and...

That's a shame Derek, the weather has played havoc this year. I can at least report that Chris (Ratwood) has arrived safely.

Hi all Well it's nearly the end of the first day and it hasn't really been that busy, although fairly enjoyable. Well it's a show after all. I'm sure the weather has been a major factor in keeping people away. Nice to see some forum members today including a couple of Daves and Charlotte...

well, we're here, most of the stands (probably all) are manned and the journey in wasn't too bad for us, but we're only staying up the road. The roads were pretty much clear and getting up the hill to the palace itself was fine. I reckon if you are able to get here today, which probably means...

Little update, got up this morning and there's been more snowfall, the road outside looks very slushy but most vehicles are coping with it, when we get to the show I'll try and post again and let you know what it's like there.

Hi Guys Sitting in the hotel at the moment having set up the stand this afternoon and can report that the roads around here are clear. I drove down from Ipswich with no real incident, although I know others had trouble getting down the A1. However, once you reach London all is ok. The hill...

We'll be there, gluttons for punishment that we are, feel free to use the area near our stand as a metting point. Normal form is midday each day. There's new people organising the show this year (same company with a different name but different individuals) so we'll see what happens... Don't...

Hopefully this is relevant and not a hijack of the thread, as PAYG mobile broadband has been mentioned.. I'm looking into this for the odd occassion when I'm away from the office, the problem for me (and it doesn't seem to be made clear) is that a lot of the PAYG deals give you a voucher/top...

I posted this a couple of years ago, it's still one of my favourites and I hope no-one will mind a repeat of it... "Excerpts from a Dog's Diary" 8:00 am - Dog food! My favourite thing! 9:30 am - A car ride! My favourite thing! 9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favourite thing! 10:30am -...

So are you saying this is unreasonable? For the record, I'm not so sure it would have been that difficult; B&Q use bar codes so the stock itself wouldn't have to be repriced all at the same time, just the computer record. I'm pretty sure B&Q sell items that are zero rated (are books still zero...

As said elsewhere, only water based (acrylics) should be protected from frost and the bottle should say this somewhere. The same goes for emulsion paint. To the best of my knowledge other products aren't susceptible to frost damage, although applying them in cold/damp conditions will have a...

So you're saying the idea is for shops and businesses to charge the same as they did before and treat the extra 2.5% (I know it doesn't really work out to that) as extra profit margin? Hmmm, not really sure that was the plan! Also, (and I'm not sure if I've understood you joesoap) for exports...

Cute story, I was going to post about that song which says pretty much the same thing but isn't so gushy, but bluezephyr beat me to it; it's a great sentiment and one I always try to keep in mind. What a great songwriter Harry Chapin was and such a loss to the music world. (It's also a favourite...
