Is there a filter Cap in it? That could've gone bad

Here's my 1983 Gibson es335 guitar ( with Tim Shaw pickups) after it was "delivered" by UPS. The hard case is punctured too above this damage. Well packed in a foam lined container. In the process of suing them for negligence.

I've used a Leatherman Wave multi-tool for 30+ years as it's always been useful for the day job. They can be a pain in the Rs to use (i.e. screw drivers) but have gotten me out of a hole many times. One thing that impresses me most with them is the guarantee, It's 25 years. The spring on my...

Fish glue has similar properties to Hide Glue, but much much longer working times. I use it in fret slots before fretting, lot easier on the fingerboard than CA, and removal is just a case of heating before lifting I have now opened a can of worms with some 'experts' telling me you don't glue in...

Hi I get mine from Dictum in Germany. Fish Glue, 100 ml | Natural glues | Dictum. 1/2 litre bottle is €16.90, postage is €12.90 + VAT, and any extortionate fees Royal Fail add on. I buy other bits and pieces at the same time like abrasives to soften the blow. For any StewMac fans...

Probably get shot down in flames for this but it may help... I discovered a new technique last year that is really effective for making a close match filler that takes lacquer well. I needed to find a mahogany filler to match chip out where a new fingerboard was glued to an old neck and it drove...

As a safety measure I'd change all the electrolytic caps. 17 years is a long life for them.

Just bought a Karcher, which is OK, but I wish I'd trusted my gut and gone with Bosch. Karcher were doing a promotion where you get a free battery and a spare 18V 5Ah can be expensive so it kinda swung it for me. The mower struggles with wet grass and clogs easily. I get about 1/2 an hour on one...

Score the outline with a scalpel slowly and carefully several times, it helps if you have a routing template. Use a drill press to remove most of the internal waste then use a router bit with a guide bearing to follow your template. Again you need to make several passes, slowly and carefully...

I've just got back from Tokyo working for the Beeb for the last 5 weeks. Yes it is a shame that they had limited coverage on red button but Discovery had the rights to all of Europe having bid something in the region of £970M, and the BBC were only allowed two live streams at any time. Given the...

When the little rodent pops his clogs, as they all do eventually, don't bury it in the garden immediately, but boil it up with a load of sugar and a little water. Find a nice spot in the garden and then bury it. Next Spring you'll be blessed with dozens of beautiful long stemmed flowers...

We use active and passive Peltors in broadcasting as there can be quite high SPL's in TV environments and crews need to hear talkback (direction from the gallery) at a safe and comfortable level. Bose and Sony noise cancellers aren't really made for what you want and will get knackered quite...

I'm off to Tokyo next week, 3 PCR tests at 72,48 & 24 hours before flight. Company called Halo dealing with it turning the results around in less than 24 hours, not cheap though at £89 a pop, but Japanese govt mandate.

I'm sorry if this has been debated before, but, why the hell are we (society) not pursuing Hydrogen powered vehicles more? Yes the fuel cells are expensive to produce, but that cost would diminish with mass production. The range of a HPV vehicle is more akin to an ICE. 5 minute fill up and the...

Yep, what he said. Just started using them excellent product

Great, thanks for the review, just bought one yesterday, big selling being the spare battery offer

My day job is a TV sound mixer, our cat will only bite through headphone cables, especially expensive ones WTF?

Agreed, but I use them for finish repairs only

I've just discovered GluBoost CA's and activator. It's not like ordinary activator in that it doesn't froth up so is great for finish repairs. They also do a range of dyes which work well with their CA glue. Expensive but worth it for what I need. I get mine from ToneTech, here's the link...
