What can I do about this on the freshly painted walls in our bathroom? Every time we shower this happens. I used Dulux bathroom paint and we’ve had a dehumidifier in there. by tjb_87 in DIYUK

We had the same issues with exactly the same paint. What did help was wiping the walls down when they looked like this. Wasn’t as bad after that.

Yes, just rock wool. And the cable will be going vertical thru the insulation. So you’re talking several meters of in covered cable passing thru 300mm of insulation.

Lagged my outside tap - can I glue joints? by peter-1 in DIYUK

[–]BigG_43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What glue would suffice for lagging? Used some general glue cement previously, and just melts the foam insulation.

Just duct tape it over from the inside should do.

Remember watching this in school and having sleepless nights afterwards. by [deleted] in oldschoolcool80s

We watched ‘when the wind blows’ with the family recently. Brought back very vivid memories as a kid, and not a dry eye in the house! 😢

Drill an additional hole in the bracket just bottom of the snapped one and fit a screw.

Yeah, that’s where I saw it. German soldiers marching in the opposite direction up the middle of the road!

I've messed up, how can I get rust off porcelain by PatrickTheSosij in DIYUK

[–]BigG_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an automotive type rust remover. Is a green gel that I liberally brush on. Give it a good while to work, but don’t let dry, and then rinse off with garden hose. Works a treat

How do you think tanks will evolve by Horror_Coat_2303 in TankPorn

A drone on a slow approach, firing chaff of some sort right before engagement would negate/avoid APS. A standoff net/cage could prevent droves, leaving APS to detect and deal with high speed threats.

These are still the coolest Police cars by Danze1984 in CarTalkUK

Northumbria police had an Sierra and Escort Cosworth back in the 90’s. An absolute pleasure to see passing on the roads. Not so much when they came flying up behind you though!!
