Just a little tip that you all might know...

[pirate]

I've had a tiny problem with little spots of black mould around my bath. The guys who fitted out the bathroom were ----.
Cheap silicone sealer will always yellow, and black spots are always a hassle.
I intended to redo it all, but time passes by...suddenly, I have a couple of visitors coming to stay, so I set about stripping out all the old sealant and applying new stuff.
No...I cheated!
It took me less than 5 minutes, it lasts a couple of months...
Life's too short guys and girls!

Hey…. Older viewers are struggling too….


Am I right in saying tipp-ex?


At least I know who Mike Nesmith is!

Yup!
Tippex...or Liquid Paper! It's brilliant for covering up minor mould spots and also tiny dings in the skirting boards!

Many other uses too...

I remember being in school and the chemistry teacher brought in the concentrated “stuff” that is in liquid paper….

Instructed each of us to use a dropper and pop a single drop into each of our little bottles of the stuff…old bottles that were getting dry.

It thinned it down a bit and brought it back smoother and useful.


One girl knocked the bottle of liquid over and the burned through half her work jotter.



That was chemistry. I was busy in physics creating sparks with the power supplies.

Never worry about losing your fancy threaded rods! These can be left in-situ, they are cheap, strong and quite long! Perfect for leading cable through roof joists...

We get five hours to do a holiday cottage changeover. This gets done on baths and showers regularly.

Ỳou won't! We've been in the game long enough to recognize the "Four in a bed" types as soon as they arrive, but we're ahead of them. We've seen the program, and make sure that all the places they like to check are all dealt with.
