Thought i'd start an ongoing music thread for members to post whatever they are feeling at the moment

I'll kick start with something quite dark :devilgrin: Great story telling from Immortal Technique

Even if you don't like Hip Hop it's worth it just for the story :thumbup:

Arkema owns Bostic owns den braven which has a subsidiary called Siroflex who make caulk for screwfix like nemesis and own the own brand stuff that gets great reviews if left over night to dry.
You have to wonder what the difference is between all this caulk. I have looked this up online and seems there is a link. Interesting I thought. Guess they must have different factory's? Who knows.

I was just doing my usual google searching for new products and stumbled across these ‘new’ hydraulic pump Titan elite spray machines. Just wondered if anyone could shed any light on these machines??.
I am all in on graco at the moment with my setups but I did use a Wagner f230 diaphragm pump machine a few years ago and it was one of the best machines I’ve ever used. Are these titans version of the Wagner sf range?

Last monday fired the deros up and it sounded like a bag of nails and vibrated like hell up through my wrist, so phoned Mirka spoke to a lady called Stephanie she asked me to mail over proof of purchase did this straight away as I keep copies on my phone, 15 minutes later I get mail saying its out of warranty. So another check through phone I've definately got the 3 year warranty so call back, email over warranty reg and all sorted.

Deros picked up tuesday by UPS and delivered back to me...

Today I bought a graco 110 fflp for doing spindles.
I regret it now as the amount of paint placed in a small area is immense! I quickly switched back to my 210!

Any tips?

Everyday I get a bit closer to ditching spraying

I've switched from BIN to Blockade and I like it.
But, I thought I'd give it an extreme test.

I had an unknown varnished door to turn to white. I think it was oil varnish as nothing moved with meths.

The door was cleaned, sanded, cleaned and covered with blockade...…. Except the area under the handle housing.
I took the handle off but did ZERO prep on the surface under it, theory being, if it failed you're not...

I have 2 dozen doors to paint with Advance primer and satin.
Will the Wagner 3500xvlp be adequate, or is it not really suited for such a task?

Was toying as to whether to put all of this on here or not, but thought F**k it. Why not!

I have been getting fed up of having a beer for a good while now. I'm getting older, the body is getting larger (the belly is really), and I can quiet honestly say, it doesn't taste as good anymore.

I was going to see the new year in and the pack it all up ready for when I was going back to work on January 2nd.
Then my client called to cancel that Thursday as they had been ill over Christmas. So I...

I'm sure we all get emailed or told about deals on tools and materials which we either thank our lucky stars for or think 'damn I wish that was a week ago' as it could have saved me a few bob.

So it stands to reason that whilst the many deals we come across might not suit you at the time, it might be perfect for your fellow brother/sister of the brush.

With that in mind I propose we have a sticky thread where members can post the latest offers/specials/clearance... ect ect deals...
