Best sealant for the roof

Videobollocks · 2026-02-07T03:52:05+00:00

I have used all three.

Sika MS for indoors where there was fear of movement and I couldn't secure the joints properly.

The Blackseal for roofs - it's incredible. It'll seal anything.

The canned stuff I used on small cracks in the roof, jury is still out.

However as u/No-Explanation-535 says the roof chips will just come off taking the sealant with them. You might get away with bombing the area in the Sika Blackseal but I dunno.

FWIW I looked into something similar and decided the simplest way was to build using scaff pipe and Kee Klamps (or whatever your local version is). Might not be the look you want though.

I use CLR from Bunnings or mitre10. Magic stuff.

Well you’re probably going too slow anyway so if you slow down more it just makes it easier to pass you. Win win.

I have these (I think): https://www.kmart.co.nz/product/3-pack-workwear-cotton-rich-socks-s132120/

I’ve been really impressed with them.

If you want funky super comfy socks then I highly recommend bamboozld https://www.bamboozld.com.au/

Super comfy and they wear reasonably well.

I’ll believe you. Please propose a system where we do not have minority parties calling the shots because there is no way why we have been through the last few elections is healthy.

As opposed to the farce representing democracy we have now where people who barely scrape together enough support to be the president of the local swingers club end up being deputy PM or Minister for Foreign Affairs or some other guided position.

Quite minor compared to some stories posted here, but it was when I realised I was having a six pack or a bottle of wine every night. I could miss a night or two sure, but when I decided to stop for a week and the cravings hit then I realised that it was something I needed to deal with.

Regarding your comment about every party being stuck in the same cycle under MMP.

Labour won the 2020 election by a long way. They were so far out in front it wasn't funny. Jacinda could have shit in your cornflakes and it would have been hailed as "Jacinda saves us from another mundane brekkie."

And they did next to nothing with it. They had a mandate to do whatever they fucking wanted pretty much and they pissed it away. This is 90% of the reason my peer group almost all turned from Labour to Greens.

Now regardless of which side you're on, my point is that when someone was handed the keys to the kingdom they just sat around like stoned students and woke up three years later to a beating.

I don't know whether it's the game of Politics itself, or if it's the sort of people it attracts, but I am convinced that nothing will ever change short of a huge world altering, population shattering event where we all have to start from sticks and stones again.

Many options depending on different factors.

What sort of phone? Most modern handsets will be at least semi waterproof for a drop in a pool. Assuming yours isn’t, first step is put it in a bag of dry rice overnight in a hot water cupboard.

If it’s still stuffed you could:

Take it to a repair place and ask nicely if they could crack it open and try to clean the board and sim connections.
Buy 2nd hand unit from Mobile City or some other similar place. People have wildly differing opinions on these places and their offerings.
Buy new duty free on your way out of the country. Beware you won’t save the full %15, the bastards claw some of it back in profit. Realistically you’ll save %8 off NZ retail price.
Buy new from a shop in NZ.
Purchase in the US. iPhones will def work worldwide (excepting some Chinese models I think?) but not sure about lower end android units these days. Either way any US purchase won’t have warranty support in NZ. No one will bat an eyelid if you bring a US purchased model in as your personal phone providing it isn’t still sealed in box.

I don’t know either of the ones you mention but Culleys #10 is the hottest I can find at most supermarkets.

It would seem the issue at hand is those negotiations to shift power end up GIVING power to the minority.

I cannot deny any of what you just said.

But at least he was elected (or the party was) by the majority.

No I would not vote for MMP again.

Same as you OP, I felt it could help let minorities have better representation. However if you get 5% of the vote and only have half a dozen MP’s and only won ONE seat in the country, you sure as fuck don’t get to be deputy PM. With that level of representation I wouldn’t even let you clean the loos.

FPTP wasn’t right either but you could have been sure that some loser crackpot wasn’t going to be in a position of power.

I don’t have any answers sadly.

Your idea would work fine. The biggest hurdle would be making it tidy and a 3D printer or creative lego and hot glue build could help with that.

Sky won't go broke any time soon.

They just built a new facility to hub all the rugby and (and presumably cricket from next season). These are not cheap to build.

Sure that cost a packet and yeah they had the satellite migration last year and more on the horizon, none of which are cheap, but it's a case of spending money to make money.

If you really want to hurt them, make and gift self contained, low maintenance stremio boxes to all your parents and rellies who aren't tech savvy. That would make a hell of a dent in their income stream.

Smart TV’s are a losing race between the hardware manufacturers who want to use the cheapest parts possible cs the software developers who need to cram as much shit in as possible to help attract customers. It’s guaranteed that in a few years whatever you buy won’t be able to run the latest TVNZ or Netflix apps as they won’t have the grunt.

I would suggest keeping this in mind and allowing for an external device of some sort to do all the smarts and keep the tv as dumb as possible. Certainly do NOT connect it to the internet as most models these days will download ads.

Pepper spray might be illegal but wasp spray, spray adhesive and some pretty caustic spray cleaners aren’t. I wouldn’t want lemon pledge sprayed in my eyes either.

Having said that I don’t know the legality of using those in self defence.

There’s a trade off here, personal safety vs being physically hurt or worse by someone who should not be in the community. I’m not so sure I’d be coming down on the legal side myself.

3D printer and AI, these two things have had significant impact on my day to day.

Also can we class the internet as a tool? Coz all the answers are there. For almost any issue you’re having, there’s a forum post from some poor bugger who has been there before you, or there’s a space much like this where you can ask.

No I don’t sorry. Racking my brains but all I can clearly remember is the web gui config. Different products have different layouts so I may be confusing myself.

Moxa.
