So I bought all five for 28 quid

You get some right crazy prices on Amazon. I got some 1.1/4" stainless ball valves for £5 each, weird thing was the smaller and bigger ones were all normal kind of prices but luckily it was 1.1/4" I was needing

We had a Worth lady rep she was great new the products inside out a load of the boys wentclubing with her as well a real laugh but a serious rep

I tried reading that in a "There was a young woman from Leeds..." stylee and cracked up laughing

Aye, I have that, used to be brilliant, now its slimy and doesn't work nearly as well.

Today I had my compressor inspected, tested and certified. Bargain really. It cost me £40 as a non runner. Rewired it, replaced broken drain tap, fitted missing pulley and fitted new belts. , so cost me nearly a £100 in total. It's probably around 10-12CFM. It should be just sufficient for spraying. Luckily I have another smaller compressor that will feed my air fed mask. Happy day!

Is there a size code for these?

 

[Onoff]

We had a Worth lady rep

So did we years ago. Size 14 squeezed into a size 10 blouse got her through the door. Sold us BZP when we ordered galv fixings. Think it was ignorance rather than deliberate.

These arrived today.

They've only got to last a week.

Got 100 odd 600x750 council slabs to lay. Hoping these make positioning a little easier

Cooler too nice. I really need to get one for mine, it’s not the same when they don’t integrate.

Last couple of days to be fair.

More finishing touches for the bbq

Only one I could get in a hurry.

And lastly this, well not this actual one, bought from local supplier and will pick it up end of the week.

Orange..? You've got me questioning my eyesight and colour perception now; Lorch is more red than orange isn't it? JASIC is orange, no?

Paid for my new lathe today, sale was already agreed but hadn't had chance to get cash out. These also arrived today, a brand new old stock Bison 250mm 4 jaw, and what I assumed would be a chinese backplate in L2 mounting, how wrong was I, its a brand new old stock Pratt Burnerd one, its all wrapped in rust inhibitor paper so pics are from the eBay add. After finding out yesterday that the lathe (Colchester Triumph Mk1.5) was a special model with the L2 mount not the usual L1, and therefore a bigger spindle bore, and also has the optional induction hardened bed ways I'm like a cat with a bucket of cream!

No, but the mapp torch did

What citric mix do you use, I've some lathe faceplates and bits I want to derust. Does it attack brass/bronze?

It makes brass go copper coloured, i think the citric attacks the zinc.

Have a read of these instructions. Just use citric in place of Deox-C:
