    Central Heating system help

    The system is certainly confusing, you should have a blender valve which takes the "hot" water from the heating primary and blends it with the cold return from the underfloor until it reaches the optimum underfloor temp set by the blender valve, this will be pumped around by the underfloors own...

    Central Heating system help

    the water flow and need moving so the flow through them is the correct way…..is this idea correct? As Alli says some are Bi directional and I have had some Danfoss I think that have to be set (at installation)for the flow direction.

    Kity 613 bandsaw - changing tyres and about to give up!

    Should have said you will need to remove wheels which if I remember on a kity will be needle bearings and probably gummed up in the lower one anyway so a chance to clean them out as well

    Kity 613 bandsaw - changing tyres and about to give up!

    I have done this on a bigger saw and yes its not easy. The method I used is hard to explain. I had a piece of bar to fit the bearing exactly. Clamp that bar in a vice. The wheel should be able to rotate at 90 degrees to the vice jaws. Once set up warm the tyre and using a plastic clamp put part...

    Laser levels

    "Had a red De Walt. Sold it and bought a green one". Interesting, I have a red one and wondered if the green thing was overhyped, plus being a little annoyed as I hadn't had mine long. Do you notice any significant improvement in visibility? I have found it very useful for kitchen fitting...

    Experience of / Advice about : Foam insulation backed plasterboard

    I scraped the emulsion back to bare plaster with 4 inch scraper tedious but neccesary as adhesives will break that bond probably. I didn't have loose or flakey plaster or even dusty. I would use a bonding if it was, as kev suggested or an acrylic bond for instafoam. I used many mechanical...

    Experience of / Advice about : Foam insulation backed plasterboard

    I have done this to my downstairs rooms and am now currently doing upstairs. Firstly yes the difference is very noticeable so worthwhile. I am using 40mm on the main wall and 25mm on the window wall just to keep the visual impact down. Talkng of visual impact I also am using instastik and...

    MFT sacrificial top

    I heard Peter Millard say on a you tube video he was possibly getting rid of his table saw as he had a way of ripping small bits developed. However don't know if he's made a video. He's on here as a member you could try messaging him.

    Big gap under internal doors

    I had to do this job for a friend for different reasons. The head of the door lining was to low with concrete lintel over. He didn't want that much work to knock out so we cut the bottom of the door of and re-established integrity (because into chipboard core) with an oak strip glued on the...

    Makita Track Saw Blades - my brain hurts

    You are not neccessarily over thinking it. Festools latest TS55 uses a narrower kerf blade so it is something to be aware of. Up to 2010 thereabouts they were 2.5mm then went 2.2mm and new models 1.8 I think,(mine is old and not getting sucked into the hype to upgrade) hence the claim for...

    Wago Lighting Connectors

    "I would suspect he was more domestic than industrial and why he was surprised......only bond the cables armour at the supply end." Well I think it was actually most installs he sees, when testing, are earthed both end of armour when they shouldn't be. Also using armour as earth (as opposed to...

    Wago Lighting Connectors

    I knew somebody would come up with that response to illustrate my point. You are partly correct in your statement in that it is a method and probably the first go to especially if the building has metal infrastructure, but not entirely correct as it was approved by my electrician colleague with...

    Wago Lighting Connectors

    I would have to agree with that. I used to do electrical wiring industrially as part of equipmment installation until quite a few years ago the company split the equipment installation and electrical connection apart. I would consider myself competent and wired out my own extension on the house...

If they were genuine as someone else said Paypal friend payment or normal bank transfer. Funny how all these scammers are always...
