    Insulating a wall

    Thank you. Would the air gap need to be vented? As if I did that as it is currently, it would be a sealed box with the insulation on the inside then air gap then brick wall

    Spray can/ aerosol nozzles

    Over many years, I have a number of aerosol cans- either paint, lithium grease etc etc where the nozzles are either clogged/ lost/ damaged. Don't really want to throw them away, so started looking at replacement nozzles on eBay (not prob best place but it was late).... very confusing, there are...

    Internal Insulation Question

    Thank you Roy. Yes, have considered Celotex- the current wall is just painted brick with the brickwork not being especially flat. Have you any suggestions to get it to fit tightly without voids? Or would a thin layer of roll type fibreglass insulation behind the Celotex to take out the...

    Internal Insulation Question

    I have a large loft room which is used as my office. The one end wall is a party wall and is insulated on the neighbours side, the side walls are internal to roof and are insulated, as is the roof. My question is about the gable end wall, which is just a brick solid wall, no cavity and is...

    Why is this dangerous kit being advertised on here?

    Given that anyone using a table saw is going to be a woodworker, I am gobsmacked they actually buy push sticks etc rather than making their own as they are so simple!

    Central Heating Push Fit Fittings - Soldered - Tectite

    With soldering comes the risk of fire/ heat damage plus all pipes have to be empty of water. Push fit I know quick and easy but can't bring myself to trust them even now.... So for me, its compression fittings every time- easily changeable and reuseable, if there's a slight weep, just got to...

    Brace bit in a regular, electric or pillar drill ?

    I have cut the square end off a number of mine with a hacksaw and use them in a cordless drill at the slowest speed as they are not designed for high speed. Still work effectively!

    Using a cordless drill in a drill press stand

    I tried one of those clamp on drill stands, it was useless, didnt drill straight and to get it to clamp on, you needed to tighten it nearly to point of breakage. Gave up and bought a small purpose made drill press. Tbh it does not take up much more room than that clamp on type, but is infinitely...

    Wilko and out...

    Very sad, but where I live there is a Poundland directly opposite- lot of people go there as its cheaper and pretty much stock same stuff, but I often go to Wilko simply because they have a human checkout person!
