well, it's a forum, not an IET seminar. what do you expect after beer o'clock on a friday, a papal election?

Did you misspell that last bit because of beer - bad Tel, Naughty Tel - in your basket!

I like lathe and plaster, It brings out my ingenuity... the customer thinks im a demi god and proper professional when they see whats inside the wall and how i insert little bits of timber to strengthen the cuts lathes, to then affix or install box for a new accessory.

They usually ask me ,politely. to leave when they see the size of my tool.

and before i get any smutty comments, i'm referring to a 110V makita recip saw.

I've used 20 minute rapid set tile cement recently - to get me out of ... a hole (sorry - best I've got at this hour).

Be wary of using bonding if it's not a cavity wall. That stuff acts like a sponge to damp and moisture...metal flush box will be rotted away in next to no time and along with it any tiles or the like.
