Had a call back before 10AM this morning after making an online enquiry over the weekend, apparently the 362 is clear only and the product they have supplied is the pigmented lacquer which should have equivalent longevity. The 501 primer is similar in performance to the 641, but it is compatible...

I recently got some 3M 9088 tape for sticking a metal scale down - easy to apply, trim and perfect hold. I found RS were the best place to go, even free delivery on a small order which is not how I remember RS being like in the past. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

That's what I'm hoping - the product datasheet from Morrells describes it as a pigmented lacquer, while the 362 datasheet makes no mention of pigment anywhere. It just seems a bit odd, as everyone I've seen mention it here refers to the pigmented lacquer as 362 also. Hopefully my query to...

Thanks for all the advice. I contacted the retailer about my questions, their responses were: They didn't have any specific recommendations for tip size, but apparently 1mm gives good results (that sounds really small to me!), thinning should be with water by at most 10% and not at all for the...

Thanks Custard. I've sent them an enquiry by e-mail (to the generic technical query address, there doesn't seem to be branch-specific e-mail addresses listed on the site). I seem to struggle with communication by telephone for some reason, I've never really got on with verbal communication so...

I ordered some Morrells paints earlier this week for my kitchen - first time customer. I ordered over the phone as the depot is quite a drive. Unfortunately in amongst all my queries, there seems to have been a bit of confusion and the products sent aren't what I thought I ordered. I thought I'd...

Pressure and flow losses are only of concern when gas is flowing. As soon as the demand finishes, pressures will equalise in the line to the supply pressure. As the demand from a staple gun is both small and very intermittent, I wouldn't be at all concerned by pressure losses for your...

I'm shortly going to be embarking on building a new kitchen. It's going to have inset painted face frame cabinets; I'm planning to build the carcasses myself from birch ply with drawers and a face frame reveals from maple to give a similar finish. I'm planning to use Manns Extra Tough interior...

I've used Motion drawer slides from ironmongery direct before and been very happy with them. They come in a variety of load capacities up to 80kg: https://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/bro ... stems#menu Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Having used a regular mechanical pencil before I bought the pentel graph gear, the frequency of snapped leads from being dropped or knocked was a major irritation. The retractable mechanism really does make it much better suited to use in the workshop than the alternatives. Sent from my...

+1. Great bit of kit. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

I'm also curious as to the application. I use the Fischer Duopower plugs which are widely available and never had an issue - including heavy shelves, climbing training boards, wall mounting big TVs etc. I think each 8x40 plug is rated to 25kg in brick or 70kg in concrete, although I reckon...

What novocaine says about the modulus of the two metals tells you what you need to know - aluminium will not be stiff enough. Aluminium can be used in many situations to make stiffer structures than steel, but this is achieved by increasing section depths and wall thicknesses to compensate for...

I spent a long time looking into the same problem recently. I already have a big Triton for my router table and a small trim router, I wanted something for bigger hand held tasks that was still lightweight enough for more delicate work. My conclusions: *Dewalt DW622K would have been my first...

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I book-marked this as a guide for doing my own kitchen cabinet doors and face frames. Coming back to it, Photobucket have changed their service for non-premium users and the pictures no longer seem accessible. I don't suppose Jonnyd or someone else who...

Isn't the space efficiency argument undermined by non-combustible regulations though? I want to build my workshop up against the boundary for space efficiency; as I understand it this rules out a predominantly timber construction. I was considering Celcon block single skin with insulation on the...

Roland - I was at Yandles last weekend, they had a Sabre 450 on display to have a good look over so would be worth you dropping in I suggest. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

thegsey - That's an interesting alternative that I haven't thought of. I'm thinking if going that route then I'd have some form of guide track to keep the green cabinet in your illustrations reasonably square as it comes out. Alternatively, by using an extension slide type mechanism such as a...

woodywoodwood - thanks, look forward to hearing from you. I had a look at some Hafele stuff (I think their kit was installed in some B&Q kitchens I looked at amongst others) - it looked ok, but wasn't really what I was after. We've gone for a Kessenbohmer Le Mans unit in one corner, these look...

It sounds like in many respects you're at a similar point to my own kitchen build, and thinking of a similar construction technique. What I've settled on is: 1) A grid of vertically placed plywood strips screwed down into the floor - this will form a level base onto which I can screw down the...
