Oh, Bondic I think you mean? Haven't tried it either, but have plenty of bits of old laptop case to experiment with! Cheers both for the advice!

Great stuff, thanks - will give that a go! Any reinforcement or anything added to the epoxy?

I have a few old laptops with "floppy screen syndrome" - the plastic surrounding the nut in the palmrest assembly has snapped off, so when you open or close the laptop the hinge tries to pry the casing open etc. Just wondering if there is a particular glue people would recommend for this? Have...

Sounds like a dead start capacitor on the pump motor.

I don't think whoever installed the heating in my house even owned a saw - most of the boards seem to have been cut with a chisel! I ended up ripping the whole lot out and putting down brand new boards - made the sanding faster, anyway!

Osmo oil is fantastic and would probably last forever - but also probably cost more than the shed did! I prefer oils rather than coatings, even cheap Teak oil brings out the colour of the wood, and just needs wiped on with a cloth once a year - takes about an hour, costs about £20 for that size...

Cost me £!50 to have a spark approve the electrical stuff I had done myself - rewired most of the house. He messed about with his sparky probes and earth testers for about half an hour, wrote me a cert, then left. Nice money if you can get it. Spark who retired from my workplace a couple of...

Google image "spring clip" - first one looks sorta close like what you are after, if not you will find it there somewhere!

My office has 500 people in it and fake plants - one of the "Facilities Management" team even has to water them now and again with a sort of "cut grass" smelling water. Nobody is fooled, they have a water evaporator stuck in each pot - does smell better than most of the staff, though. :D And...

No Idea what age your Dad is, Craig, but he looks like he'd kill me with one punch, wouldn't need any cutlery!

Not far off a pork haggis, then - love haggis, but never seen faggots in N.Ireland - haggis is probably a much bigger seller. Think I'd like them made by a butcher, but not "Mr Brains" - it's probably a bit like tinned haggis, tastes far too strongly of lungs - I presume because there isn't much...

Get one of these... https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Global-Gizmos-52200-Benross-Toaster/dp/B07117KTF5/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538876387&sr=8-3&keywords=hot+dog+machine It'll change your life, you'll end up with Scurvy but it is so worth it - I'm a hot dog addict. Best dogs IMO are these -...

I think I still have a VHS of that film... :D:cool:

Same as mine, the A/C is a later add-on, wanted to keep the central heating because if I ever sell this place, buyers expect it...

I pay 17p per kWh, the joys of living in Northern Ireland! Sonny - Most moden multisplit systems will reach a CoP of 4 - Dropping to about 3.4 in very cold weather. It has nothing to do with the size of, or thermal performance of your house. I'm talking about your initial statement - that heat...

I adore old cast iron. From Ebay, car boot sales, etc. Seasoned well it's as good as Teflon.

Bu a £20 toaster, and a cooker that you like?

For older (less than 5 years, technology moves fast), I normally take 3.1 to be the CoP - so 310%. New systems can reach 4.0 CoP or 400% no problem at all. There are so many cowboys in the market, it's obscene. I notice Sonny hasn't returned to defend his entirely wrong opinion - does he do...

Large systems (in some cases as small as a (large) house heated by a single ground or air sourced heat pump) can be run using a gas engine rather than an electric motor - generally existing engines with slight adaptations. One big multisplit I've seen runs a Micra engine!

Does anyone make "smash burgers"? Put your 50g ball of burger meat into a scorching pan, leave it a second then squish it with a heavy spatula, lean on it (or put a big weight on top) to getloads of nice crispy beef, then flip, squish and add cheese. Blew my mind the first time I did it on a...
