Random Irritations

Trying to find decent hard finish spray or sprayable paints.

Building a set of active desktop speakers and trying to get a nice smooth gloss white finish and all the paints seem to be acrylic these days and don't adhere to MDF well at all.

Blotchy, patchy finish on the first one.

Only upside is that I have finally found a way of effectively sealing the cut and routed edges of MDf boards. Zinzer B.I.N, shellac based primer. Stuff reeks to high heavens but sprays undiluted like a dream and covers those nasty fibrous edges.

This is correct, if you have a person on ignore and they start a thread, you won’t see the thread on the relevant forum.

Tagged you in the thread, you should get a message.

Thank you and Hobbit, I’d accidentally ignored the author due to fat fingers (or a couple of pints of IPA in the sunny pub garden).

Tried all sorts Billy. Cheap cans, expensive 2k paints. Just can't get it flat.

Maybe I am just being too perfectionist.

Give them a call, worth a try, cost nothing to ask

Will do. Been doing some research and autobody high fill primer might be the answer to level off the substrate before topcoat is applied

At least the Americans seem to have stopped calling bunkers, sand traps.
That used to really boil my pea when moronic British persons called them sand traps.

Soccer is an abbreviation of Association so fine by me.

You think that's bad, I overheard someone on the course once, when asked where his ball had gone, reply "it's over there behind the sand pit!" ?

I was a Fireman for 31years and frequent a London FB site and get really wound up when fire appliances are called "trucks"

You'd think after 31 years you'd know they're called fire engines not appliances!

Apparently, according to Mrs BiM, the trickle vent on the fanlight window in the lounge was stuck.

I take it now that it's sitting on the carpet it's not stuck darling?

The wind this weekend. It spoiled the golf yesterday and I have just driven along the seafront and there is more sand on the road than on the beach. It is coming from the east and is freezing.

We have a set of stainless steel pans, glass lids, had them for years. Today one of the lids shattered whilst in the sink, temperature change presumably. I spent 20 minutes carefully picking out the shattered glass, cleaning surfaces, throwing away anything that potentially had glass in.

First step done but I was conscious some chunks will have gone down the sink. I then unscrewed the u bend bit of the sink to check there was no blockage. All clear, great. Can I get the stupid u bend back in? Can I heck. One part is pushed up, one part screws in. Screw in is fine, push is not ?. I'll crack it but it's a pain. I hate plumbing, I don't have the dexterity or patience.

Just run some water to check for blockages, or am I missing something?
