Trimmed some end panels and have some non faced edges that I’d like to protect. once upon a time it used to be pva that was used to protect them. But since times have moved on and it’s been shown that pva is no good around moisture could I paint on sbr instead? I’m guessing at this point so please put me straight 👍. ta, marek

Cheers, I'll have a go at that...

When joining kitchen units together, is there a standard practice for placement of connectors. I'll be putting one connector behind the back panel... Ta

Straight away, so likely my fault, or has been pointed out the wrong washer used!

Probably not... Application was both gerberit, and grohe cisterns...

I didnt have a great deal of success with those fittings, I'm sure they are fine but this ham fisted eejit had a failure on the washer. I used the 1/2" to 15 female coupler with a street elbow instead.

potentially use a 2 gang socket extension to bring out the metal work form the backbox that you use to fill into and upto, then remove when all filler is dried. ML Accessories | 2G16EXT | 2G 16mm Galvanised Steel Skeleton Extension Box | Superlec Direct

Number 4 for me

5, if the same as jackoboards, their instructions suggest one in each of the corners and 1 to the middle.

Apologies for butting in, this PVA, is this the same as the contractors liquid PVA that you dilute down, or is this special thicker stuff specifically used as a glue?

I've taken to using a spare empty/clean 10l paint tub and a drill attached paint mixing tool to mix up small batches. Just made peace with the fact that there will be a bit of wastage. Bag of adhesive @ £18 vs CT1 @ £13, my wallet says stay with the bag of adhesive.

gpt reckons vinegar, or citric acid and leave for 10 minutes to try and dissolve the calcium deposits... Might need a few repeats.

bigger plantpot = what stain 🤣

Upstairs Bathroom floor, leads onto landing. Bathroom floor will be tiles, landing will be something else and there will likely be a transition strip. The door casing is such that the door will be inward opening. I'm trying to set out the tiles for the floor, but am coming a little unstuck on where the transition from tiles to the other flooring ought to be... What do tilers usually do? Tile to outer edge of door (Landing side)? Inner edge? To the Centre line?

when sat into a worktop and supported on all 4 edges it'll be fine.
