For mixing paint I use an old paint bucket with a hole in the lid. I put the mixing paddle through the hole, close the lid and attach it to the drill. I can then mix the paint without any splashes.
I needed some countersinks for a project I was working on (a picnic bench). I bought some but they came in a blister pack which was no good for storage. I used an off cut of wood to make a storage rack for them. I used each item to make a hole for itself. I also made a storage hole for the Allen key that is used to loosen and tighten the grub screw on the countersinks. This fits in the drill case.

When replacing a window seal most people use Fairy Liquid as a lubricant use instead WD40 it works much much better. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

^ I can't tell if thats a prank like putting "WD40 on your brake disks makes your car go faster" as i'm pretty sure WD40 is corrosive to certain types of elastic seals. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

According to their website, WD40 is safe to use on rubber so you have no worries about using it on that substance. However, you may be correct in saying elastic may not be safe to use with WD40 as these days most elastic is not made from Latex anymore but from synthetic cores bound in polyester or nylon.

Apologies for clarity i was referring to Rubber and latex with "elasticity" not Elastic fabric weave i remember a four hour safety briefing on why we should only use silicone based lubricants on air seals after an access port seal was damaged by someone using WD40 on a hinge point. Apparently when the seal broke water pressed in and threw someone into a bulkhead at 30 odd MPH http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?5...eat-rubber But apparently WD40 have a silicone alternative for just this scenario. https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-acc...gLQK_D_BwE I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/ Current: TD5 '110 "Lucinda" Thread here: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic62562.html |
