Silicone

Post by BillyGoat »

Tube. Blocked Nozel. New floor.

Couldn't get the bit out the end, no spare nozzels.....I know, I'll just squeeze hard.....

PFFFFFFFFTTTTPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I've never seen a jet go so far.......got it off the door OK, it's made the new floor go shiney (hope remover works), got it off the shower cubicle OK......luckily the wifes best t-shirt was there to catch the last bit that went out the door and would have hit the carpet!!!! :lol:

She's not so impressed though. Her own fault, making me finish the bathroom at 11pm.

Night y'all - Early start for the other place.

sometimes little accidents like this are unavoidable...

..Just like my bruised knee yesterday, One of the downlighters blew in the kitchen, but rather than head out to the garage for the steps I thought.."Nah, I'll just leap up on the worktop and change it"..

So kneeling on the top, changed the bulb..slid off backward..bloody T bar handle went up my trouser leg stopping me from landing on my feet....ouch..

Any way, the silicone. If you come across this problem in future, release the pressure, you'll find that only the first inch or two is a solid plug..remove the nozzle and poke it out from the thin end towards the thick end using anything to hand (Old drill bit/nail/screw)
once the plugs out, re-attach the nozzle..

Baby wipes are really good for removing silicone
There are no problems - only solutions
