So sorry to hear that Phil, my thoughts are with you. I really can't understand people's thinking with not having the vaccine.

Smacking the screwdriver in hard with a hammer first works sometimes

I've only bought them in packs, but I'm pretty sure in DIY places such as Wickes they sell them in single lengths too. The other way would be splitting a pallet down and using pallet wood

Just some roofing battens screwed on the back? I'm guessing you'll be lining them with plastic anyway so they'll be fine?

Oven pride gel, normally get it for a quid from the local discount shop, leave it over night and it works a treat. I've heard good things about scrub daddy sponges or something like that??

Less dusty? You've obviously never ever ever used a tracksaw with dust extraction to cut insulation if you think they're less dusty.

I do understand, but my site work is based on property renovation of larger properties than new builds so I guess I spend more time in one place than most. Yes those are the two things I use a surform for, tidying up plasterboard and tidying up kingspan if needed. Sure I can work without it, but...

I guess it's comes down to.... Tracksaws cut faster more accurately and are very much dust free, can be cut on the stack to avoid moving boards around. Handsaw cut slower, require boards marking out with a straight edge are very dusty, and require boards being repositioned for each cut. I...
