The thinner is xylene. I always buy a tin when they have it in. Good for all sorts of things besides thinning paint.
 
That caulk gun must be easy to use, even a woman can do it..........what, sexist, me? It's their picture, I just pointed it out.

Isn't it a mixture? It does contain xylene but I'm sure I remember it having a few others solvents in there.

Yes it's a mixture of some sort but it's pretty good stuff for the price. I always make sure I have some in stock on the shelf. It's nothing like white spirit by the way.

are those carpenter square at £5.99 any good?
I was going to say a quick something about those. I suppose it's like any type of try square these days but you can't assume they are square.

I bought a set of the aluminium squares a few years back and had to take them back as they were badly out. Got replacements, the small one I realised too late was out a little but the other was fine and I have it hanging from my tool rack.
 
Planning to go Monday and check out the carpenter square

Ah but does she know how to refill it? or even what goes in it? :lol: her indoors would use it to ice a cake :roll:
 
Just bought the larger Try Square Set, 2-piece #-o
In my opinion too flimsy for marking good right- angle lines; spirit level on the smaller one is way out too; not that I would ever consider using it
The base is way too short -- so a waste of six quid

For no particular reason I got the Angled Saw Guide -- another £6
Quite substantial in the size and weight department, a good purchase :) :D
This will be used as my large lipped try square; regularly re-set to a known 90

For sweet I purchased a carton of custard and 6 apple pies in a box

I half fancy the belt sander for £29.99 :?

What belt sander ?
I can't see that

Well, not on the website, but they had a few in my local Lidl an hour ago. Maybe left over from a previous offer?

Terry.

I purchased the 3 piece. Haven't gotten around to testing them yet, but even if they are out of square, they make for good rulers (the marks are indented so shouldn't rub off easily). The larger 2 have a black hex nut, anyone know what that is for? .. I was wondering if it was to maybe adjust them? but below that is has 2 rivets, so that wouldn't work.

I also purchased the angle saw guide as it seemed pretty beefy for £6.

I may go back for the rope. I'm always looking for something strong to tie up the dead bodies.
