  1. Pay attention to the rear entry points marked red. You can easily get moisture in them through capillary action. You'll probably be good with just the ACF-50 for a couple of years but a smear of silicone grease never goes amiss. https://www.amazon.co.uk/servisol-AV-701-143UK-Silicone-Grease-50-White/dp/B0058223PU/ref=asc_df_B0058223PU/? Deffo wrap the whole lot in amalgamating tape past those red marked bits.
  2. I meant so he could gauge how bad it is. Don't know how thick, if there was admix, fibres, mesh etc.
  3. Two pack floor paint is generally tougher than single pack. If your worried about the stones having sunk to the bottom you could always hack out a foot square sample with a bfo grinder or core drill. You'd need to tip a liquid DPM in before re-concreting.
  4. I'd try the Everbuild 403, I have good, longlasting results with their products. I use their 202 integral waterproofer for most cement based mixes. Their Forever White and 825 (buff) silicones are excellent too.
  5. It is likely laitance. Attached PDF: I'd wire brush the surface, I used a cup brush in a grinder on my double garage floor. Then vacuum the floor and paint. 137-concrete-floors-laitance_web (1).pdf
  6. The other one said "Yes, doesn't it!"
  7. More drop the soap...
  8. Yes that's the one. Looks to also be available in SF, T'Station etc.
  9. Seriously, try a Cramer touch up pen.
  10. Caught it with your guiche?
  11. Flat panel cabinets?
  12. Can you plane the swollen bit level?
  13. Pretty much yes. If it's not getting splashed constantly. Try it for the sake of £15. Worst case you need to put another plug on.
  14. Sounds too good to be true but it really does do what it says on the tin: https://acf50.co.uk/
  15. Remember to shake it well! If I recall correctly the aerosols are like 90% liquid and a very small amount of non flammable propellant. If you don't shake it it comes out frothy. Reassuringly expensive too.
  16. Silicone grease if it's likely to get wet. A spray of ACF-50 if it's indirect, atmospheric corrosion.
  17. Another bonus of this is @Pocster can get top make up tips to sort his pallid complexion, brought on by his constantly damp, troglodyte existence.
  18. Loved that! Seriously well done. One of the best GDs I've seen.
  19. You'll be reet as long as you don't complain about the smell, the mud or nextdoor's cockerel waking you up. Country folk around here get itchy trigger fingers over little things like that. GD set on timer btw.
  20. My bathroom floor is basically 100mm concrete on 150mm (50+100) Celotex. For the bath "pocket" I left out the 100mm of Celotex and sat a piece of 3/4" marine ply on the 50mm of Celotex. The guts of the angled frame: Now really liking your level top idea.
  21. Ah, I see why now! With my bath it's partially sunken. This so as the bath floor is exactly level with the bathroom floor. The sides of the bath are angled inwards so you can stand a bit closer we hen getting in. Works surprisingly well.
  22. Horrible idea. Leak magnet. Bath boxed in, sat on tiles:
  23. Your missus will explain.
