    Does cascamite really go off?

    Thanks. I have used before with great success but heard it went off really quickly. I have a half used pot which has been two months odd and I wanted to check it would be ok as long as the powder was not lumpy. Seemed to work out great. Much better than the fact I'd put my tails on the front...

    Does cascamite really go off?

    Just to check on this one, did my first batch a few months ago and it still looks like a fine powder, so no problems? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Steve's workshop - Painting the outside walls

    To late for you then, however for others who need plasterboard for regs, but want to be able to screw stuff easily, I used formacell in my house. More expensive however will take a wood screw with no plugs, no problem. Also has better noise dampening quality. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Steve's workshop - Painting the outside walls

    Now I have power proper to my shop I have discovered that my large number of sockets (10 UK and 10 Italian) have all gone instantly and I have multipliers in nearly all of them. Fortunately I already planned to put socket extensions under wall cabinets for example for things like cordless tool...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    I now have mine connected to a dedicated 16A plug, rather than an extension lead from building site power supply. It starts quicker and with less groan, so definitely an improvement. It may be worth installing it on a rubber mat to absorb some vibration noise - it's pretty hard to move once...

    Kitchen work top joining

    Thanks everyone. I put pva all over both surfaces and a bead of colored silicon on the edge and that seemed to work well. There is a hairline joint with a color matched silicon so I think it's ok. I had to finish this for the plumber to attach pipes to my sink, finish electrics, and learn...

    Kitchen work top joining

    I watched quite a bit of Tommy trade secrets which seemed quite decent and a few others and they all used pva... I sealed all edges with two coats pva and used water resistant chipboard for the nailers. Might put a bead of silicon art the top edge of join, however it looks like my silicon is...

    All the revealed chipboard edges are double sealed with pva in that area. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Kitchen work top joining

    It seems a bit odd when you look at it the other way, but mainly with only 4m per piece it just wasn't long enough that way Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Kitchen work top joining

    It's ten cm away but you could be right. No one said anything mind you and I showed quite a few tradesmen. The architect also drew it under the window. I kind of think I have no choice and just have to go for it. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Kitchen work top joining

    I realise I have a few posts about my first (and last) kitchen installation, so thanks again for all your help. I am joining two pieces and the sink is fairly close to the end of one run. I realised I have not cut the bolt holes, and now see they will overlap the sink. Now the bolts...
