Quick and permanent repairs and fixings

Advantages: Easy to use and creates solid repair

...I saw the demonstration of Fixwiz repair sticks and I was fascinated. Basically the Fixwiz repair sticks are sticks of an epoxy resin which are brown on the outside, white on the inside, and in order to activate the stuff you just cut off the amount you need and then knead it between your fingers until the brown and the white are fully mixed. As you knead the mixture becomes warm and it takes only minutes before it is ready to use - but remember ...
...place to try out the Fixwiz to see if it was as good as the advertising suggested. I removed the curtain tie backs, the screws and the plugs and cut off a small piece of Fixwiz. I mixed it by kneading it with my fingers and in no time at all it was fully mixed, warm and ready to put into the holes. It was very easy to push into place and smooth over - so far so good. In the demonstration I had seen the lady had screwed into it within minutes (before ...

Review of Fixwiz Repair Sticks

Didn't come out of the tube!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Completely lacking in functionality

I bought the unibond no more nails ultra instant grab power exterior product from a well known diy store. When I got the product home I found it wouldn't come out of the tube despite a fair amounf of effort. In the process I nearly broke my cartridge gun. As the product was on sale at a discount, in my opinion, the retailer would have been aware of the defect and was banking on no-one bothering about returning a faulty item just for the sake of a ...

Review of Unibond No More Nails

Perfect for all the DIY virgins!

Advantages: Revives tilework cheaply.
Disadvantages: None.

...will now review is " Unibond anti mould grout reviver, ice white" Ok, so you were probably expecting some amazing new fangled piece of equipment after that build up, but trust me, this product performs miracles. When we moved into our home, over 5 years ago now, we noticed how much tile work there was in the bathroom and the kitchen. Now anyone who has tiles in these areas will already be aware of how quickly the grout between these tiles can discolour ...
...whole "toothbrush and bleach" trick to clean them up, but as far as I can gather they are of an age where they are just not going to go that white anymore, no matter how hard I scrub, this is where this reviver comes into play. The reviver comes in a stand up tube, sitting on it's lid, this ensures when there is a small amount left it will always be at the right end for using. There is the usual information, product name and brand, colour spec, ...

Review of Unibond Anti Mould Grout Reviver, Ice White

Stick with me:)

Advantages: Sticks paper and card well. Easy to use, Cheap
Disadvantages: Not for heavier items, hard to pull off lid!

...That is where this lovely Bostik Quick Stick comes into the equation. Bostik: ****** They are a very well known company around the world for its DIY adhesives as well as the domestic glues. They of course make the famous 'Blue Tac' that many of us use every day. They also make many products for use in the building trade such as tile adhesive, cement additives and silicones. So they are not little guys when it comes to this sort of product! I found ...
...though it smells very strange Bostik says it is also free of any solvents so is very safe to use. Please do not eat this glue though, I am sure it wouldn't do you much good and probably would not taste the best! Are there any disadvantages to this glue stick? ************************************** Well there are some things they could have made better, but for the price I cannot complain too much. Below are some improvements I think they could make: ...

Review of Bostik Quickstick

Glue fit for a queen...

Advantages: Can be used for just about everything
Disadvantages: Dangerous if used while drunk

...broken pair. I bought some Loctite from WH Smith, at a cost of £3.49, which was rather expensive, I thought, but it turned out to be cheap in the long-run. When I got home, I applied a thin layer to the sole and it stuck within seconds. You do need to concentrate, however, otherwise your fingers will be stuck together forever, and will drive you ga-ga. The shoes were as good as new, and couldn't break free - it was almost a kind of magic, and I've ...
