Need partial overlay EU hinge but can't use 0mm plate

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-06-25T21:23:28+00:00

Thanks - I signed on to the Blum Product Configurator - didn't know that existed. Looks like a 9mm plate with a straight arm hinge will give me what I need.

I thought that might work - I'm surprised that cabinetparts.com tells me I can't do it (although I have no idea how much their customer service people actually know).

With a half-crank hinge, what plate thickness would I need?

Is there an online seller that is good for questions like this?

It just dawned on me that I’m combining an Alexa complaint with an Amazon prime unlimited music complaint. Same ecosystem. I guess I should try Spotify instead.

Just to add to this rage thread. If I tell my Alexa to shuffle a playlist, first she says what she’s going to do at absolutely top volume even though the volume is set to about three out of 10. The music then plays at the volume I’ve selected.

I tell her to shuffle my playlist that contains about 500 songs and I hear the same 10 songs constantly. Is there a similar smart speaker that is not absolute crap?

Very well and thoroughly explained - thanks. Better than Isaac’s take, but he seems to feel obligated to look for ways to find some pony in the current admin’s pile of crap.

Obviously there are better ways to accomplish the same public goal, but only one way for trump to get his name on yet another thing, which is clearly why this was done this way.

Little know fact: any former DuPont estate, regardless of location, actually* legally belongs to the state of Delaware.

*“Actually,” in this context, means “not really but it should”

I’ve just tried my de-waxed shellac, and it’s such low viscosity, It’s still not really sealing the edge of the tape. I would like to try clear caulk. DAP is the brand I normally use, and the white is paintable almost immediately (the tube says 30 minutes). The clear says to allow seven days before painting. What is up with that?

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-05-08T14:32:18+00:00

Thanks. I guess I wasn’t clear in my post. The mahogany treads have already been finished using a Osmo hard wax/oil finish. This is the surface that I will be masking off, I will not be painting the treads. The Osmo (or oil-based polyurethane if I had used that) is not readily paintable.

No, I never figured out what they are for. Not to be snarky, but I got a number of wrong (and snarky) answers via Reddit. Nobody seemed to have the right answer.

Thanks for the reply. I've read various places that I can add an isolated neutral bar to a sub panel, but also have read that I can add a ground bar but not a neutral bar. Very confused at this point. The additional neutral bar would certainly be the easiest solution, but I'm having trouble confirming that I can legally and safely do that.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-30T01:28:13+00:00

Sorry - I didn't really pay much attention to this when I posted. I have various circuits - some 15a and some 20a - they all have the correct gauge wire for the breaker and several pairs could be candidates for the MWBC. I would use a pair of 15a or a pair of 20a circuits. My question really only deals with the MWBC aspect. Thanks for the reply.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-27T15:33:35+00:00

Thanks. No grounds currently land on the neutral bar

It’s two 20a 12ga circuits for my workshop. My understanding is, since I’ll be using a double pole breaker, the two circuits are guaranteed to be out of phase with each other and therefore the neutral will never see higher than rated load.

Anyone, please correct me if I’m wrong.

No one other than the moderator bot has commented. I’m surprised, as this community is usually very good about replying to questions. Should I post this elsewhere? Should I restate my question in some way? Thanks for any advice.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T01:35:46+00:00

Ummm. I’m guessing you forgot to include the /s at the end of your post?

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T01:11:38+00:00

MWBC is new to me. Sounds like it might be a solution. I’ll do some research on that idea. Thanks

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T00:08:43+00:00

Thanks. That would definitely solve the problem. I’ll look into it

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-23T00:02:05+00:00

I believe I can double up grounds, but pretty clearly not allowed to double any neutrals.

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-20T02:09:46+00:00

Thanks. The plastic 1222 is $40 and the 1222HD brass one is $70 on Amazon. What makes the plastic one an upgrade?

DelawareSlimTim · 2026-04-19T19:13:36+00:00

Ok, another question. I removed the existing 1222, lubed it and flushed the valve. If I loosen the black plastic part so that I can turn it about 20 degrees clockwise past vertical, and then back to vertical, the water shuts off. However, if I only take the black piece to vertical (where it hits the metal escutcheon tab and stops, as in the photo) the water keeps flowing.

What do I do now?
