How do you guys pull your cables through conduit. What have you found the best method.
If you use powdered chalk that's sold for the old fashioned chalk line it comes in a plastic bottle with a little pointy spout so you can squirt it into the conduit as the cable or wires get pulled in.

That sounds like it's asking for trouble - presumably monkey spunk has no nutritional value, whereas I bet the mice love a lard-coated cable. It probably doesn't help prevent the spread of fire either.
Speaking of old fashioned stuff, has anyone ever used a water level?What's old fashioned about a chalk line Marvo. Good for outside jobs and the rain washes it off too (at least around our way).
Apparently they're just the job for fitting trunking around corners.Speaking of old fashioned stuff, has anyone ever used a water level?
Roman technology but flippin good. No it isn't an April fool by the way
Yep..used to do suspended ceilings, years ago, before loads jumped on the bandwagon. Fill a plastic tube and mark each corner of the room, basically. Lasers were for films then!!!lol!Speaking of old fashioned stuff, has anyone ever used a water level?

I had my first experience of using one yesterday while giving a mate a hand with some decking. I knew they existed before that though just never used one beforeBuilders use them all the time here trev - and they are bang on.

i am replacing a 6mm cable for a 10mm cable this week through an old system of conduit which im assuming is a 25mm diameter but in case it is full up would it be easier to run single core's in instead i'm wondering. which if ive aready bought the twin and earth i can splice the doubled insulation off remove it and use the 3 single insulated if it is already mechanically protected surely?
