This comes up every so often... https://youtu.be/X8sJ0kVNs4o

The plug sockets on the sides of the island units look shonky.

We have a cherry tree in rhe garden and some of the suckers are bright yellow all the way through, almost like turmeric. The bark is right too.

Very difficult to put a durable coating on uPVC, it's packed full of antioxidants that migrate to the surface. It's like painting soap. If it's just decorative, you might be ok, but if it's anything that gets handled or rubbed I don't know of anything. Thoroughly cleaning the surface prior to...

There was a bloke who used to post on Harmony Central that showed some great WIP guitar builds called ajcoholic. He made a Les Paul Jr and some other pretty inspiring stuff. Might be worth googling his build threads to give yourself some impetus.

I think you've just got to jump in, people overthink these things, like they have to create an heirloom quality artefact the first time they make something. I built a guitar (Rickenbacker style) a few years ago. I was a complete woodworking novice, but I thought I'd give it a go and blunder...

When I used to formulate PU adhesives, we used esters (ethyl and butyl acetates) as solvents. Acetone will probably be a good solvent, but it's very volatile for cleaning.

They're what gentlemen take.

Looks like the viscosity is better for his application. Pigments affect the viscosity of a polymer in different ways, some will reduce the melt viscosity and others will increase it. That's why certain colours of paint are easier to spray than others, whites are often very difficult to get a...

He asked what we were all wondering!

Isopropanol is a much more pleasant smell than white spirit and it has the advantage that you'll never be without windscreen washer fluid (10% IPA in water with a squirt of fairy liquid).

It sounds like it's either melted plastic or some sort of thermoset resin spillage...whichever it is, solvents won't touch it, so it will have to be some sort of mechanical method. Chipping or abrading. If it's brittle, then chipping away (tediously) with a cold chisel and hammer will probably...

If it was melted wheelie bin, I would imagine it would start to become plastic using the heat gun. It could it be a thermoset resin like P38 body filler or the resin used for glass fibre, these wouldn't become plastic, just char if you get the temperature high enough. When you heat plastics...

I think your answer is given by the product rating for that item... "no good - wire saw kept getting stuck in wood gave up in end"

Crikey, that video is awful!

Phone them up. Their phone support is really good and they will sort most things for you.

And the top one is certainly a sharpener for cork borers (I used them regularly at work).

First, let me say that I don't think anyone here is being racist in this thread. Certain terms go in and out as being offensive or not as society changes around them. My grandad used the word 'darkies' to refer to people with brown skin, he wasn't racist. It's just the word that people used at...

It's one of those words Jacob, I was unaware of the derogatory nature of it a few years ago, but for instance in America it's like saying (forgive me) p*ki for people from Pakistan.
