    Proximity of gas meter to electric oven

    Anyone know how close a gas meter can be to an electric oven? Just see plans of a replacement kitchen where the oven is directly above the gas meter.... is it 300mm? The kitchen isn't very big and moving either the gas meter, or the oven could be tricky!

    Gas soldering iron for heatshrink?

    I am looking for the best way to shrink heatshrink (cordless)? I have used the Iroda micro-therm which was awful so I bought a heat gun to use instead, see pic below. However, I find it too much for heatshrink and after a few seconds (even on low setting) a flame envelopes the heatshrink...
