Onoff

If you want quiet inside, then look at @PeterStarck's wall make up. Icynene between the wall timbers and from memory Rockwool batts outside.

It's just a forum member...

Christ don't eat it, I tried and it sets inside you. Had to have an op to sort it...

@wozza mentioned it the other week. Local BM has it so thought I'd try it. The white is supposed to not yellow. Smells different to CT1. More like regular silicone in its application imo. Tooled fine with the Fugi tools and excess cleaned off with baby wipes. https://www.ct1.com/our-products/bt1/

Now that you mention it I half remember this! I did have a Floplast one at home, same as I ended up buying (along with the 2 McAlpine ones?) but was miles from home. Yep the Floplast is crap. Dry fitted first, well attempted to and it pushed the white rubber out of its seat. Had to prise the end cap off, refit then use silicone spray.

Only just read the last two comments ref hot water etc! Couldn't have anyway as no power here. Gas/leccy off. Went and got a Floplast one. Went in seemingly fine with a bit of silicone spray (I did try that on the McAlpine ones). Forever White in the gap where it goes through the tile and redid where wall meets floor as best as. Will 3D print a 2 piece collar later. Pan down to the floor with 50mm long 10dia Fischer plugs then M6x90 st/st screws. Gone round the base with that new BT1 after cleaning with Multisolve. Cheers for the help.

Both of these McAlpine flange bits are a bitch to get in to the 100mm, now round, hole even. Going to get a Floplast one and try that.

Cheers. That's the one but I need today. I'm going to fit everything up and either do a super silicone jib with the Fugi tools or buy a collar later, cut in half and silicone in place. Might even 3D print one in 2 halves and spray gloss white. Cheers.

Yep. I've had the Floplast ones before but I don't think they're as good quality. Looks like your idea will be spot on the. Finished floor to centre of poo pipe on the pan is 190mm. Finished floor to centre of McAlpine fitting is non. 240mm. So all the fluted section will be below/flush with the tiles. Can I add the collar afterwards?

Further pic. The clay bend starts so high up I don't think the McAlpine long pan connector would work as the flutes are fixed and don't slide up and down the pipe. Only about 70mm of "straight" pipe and that's as rough as inside.

Sorry, yes, oval hole left. As it stands a bitch to get the fluted "anything" down there. Hence I'm about to true up the hole and give a tad more room in the tile to play with. Great shout ref the pipe collar. Thanks.

Morning, @Nickfromwales, you awake/sober yet? ? I've a WC bodge to fix. Bathroom extension on an 1860s ish terrace. I think the modern WC goes into what would have been the clay of the old outside WC. From what I can see the old clay bend pretty much butts up against the underside of the floor tiles: There's a hole been made in the tile. Pretty good tbh but a tad oval. Into that a pan connector has been forced. It wasn't a good fit. Plan as it stands is to drill a bit of wood as a template then position over that oval hole and make it exactly 100mm dia so the hole in the tile actually lines up better with the top of the clay bend. Then to fit the short McAlpine pan connector on the left with a good dose of CT1 all round the flutes. Thereafter take the L shaped McAlpine pan connector, cut the flutes section off and push that into the one in the floor. Any better ideas? Cheers

F*** yeah, stands out like a sore thumb! ? P.S There is a God! Seriously...I don't think you do tbh? Not my finest hour doing the silicone there, I hadn't yet mastered the Cramer Fugi tools. Pan was bolted to the wall but not fully. The tiles were then masked with Frog Tape. Pan was slackened off with a gap which was filled with copious clear CT1. Cleaned up the excess with (Lidl) baby wipes and left to set for 36hrs. The silicone bead was then done in Forever White. It's a bit too thick imo.

Just been using my "Champion" brand, Dremel clone to make a replacement door handle part in st/st. Bought years ago for the princely sum of £7.95 when the local Focus/Do It All closed down and became Wickes. (Got the 18V circular saw at the same time for £24.95). Must finish the Makita battery adapter for that...

Grip that metal thing with mole grips...and twist gently left and right. Worst that'll happen is you'll leave a bit of metal in there that'll rust then show through the grout line later on! ...or you could break the tile...

Blue Circle Hydralime...any good? https://tarmac-bluecircle.co.uk/product/hydralime-trade/ (I've just bought it! ?)

Yeah...the time was THEN not NOW! ?

I just wish I'd used a tile levelling system on floor and walls. Glad I did the floor tiles first though then the walls. Imo it makes for a better, more invisible and more waterproof joint. You do of course have to protect the whole floor with Correx/Proplex/Antinox etc sheets taped together when you do the walls.

I've used 27mm Gyproc Thermaline but that I think is extruded polystyrene. What do you mean "any good"? It is what it is.

I had a big bucket of clean water for the wipey down sponge. A smaller bucket (brush pot) to put my notched trowel and paint brush in and a second big bucket full of water to wash my tools in when they got too messy or started drying. I would also throw any removed tile spacers into the tool washing bucket. I'd use the paint brush "dry" to take out excess adhesive from along the joints...and there was a lot! So wish I'd accepted my mate's offer of help.

Can we have a face on picture please so we can judge you on your gaps and alignment? Looks like one of mine! ?

I'll chase it down with a low strength lager to recreate the soft Southerner's drink of choice.

Lucky we're all wearing masks now!

One tile left to fit in my bathroom!

Thanks. This is what I can get locally, looks the "same"? https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/cement/blue-circle-hydralime-hydrated-lime-25kg-minimum-order-qty-of-3/p/740142
