Fills big gaps if that's your problem!

Advantages: effective, cheap, useful
Disadvantages: smells!

Polycell expanding foam Polyfilla quickly fills large and awkward holes inside, or out. Well, that's what it says on the blue and yellow aerosol can with the two long plastic pointy things attached. Let me explain. This product comes with two long reach applicators of different thicknesses so that you can use it in very small spaces too. The nozzles on these applicators are 30mm and 20mm wide. First of all we need to be aware of the safety requirements ...
...warn to protect the skin and safety goggles are also suggested. The can must not be dropped and the foam must not be used near heating appliances because it is not suitable where temperatures are continuously above sixty degrees centigrade. The product can be used to fill and seal awkward gaps, holows and cavities. It shoots liquid foam deep into cavities and creates a lasting seal which insulates against heat, sound and moisture. It can be used ...

Review of Grout Polyfilla

Quick and permanent repairs and fixings

Advantages: Easy to use and creates solid repair
Disadvantages: You need to use it quickly once mixed

...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 ...

Evo NON Stick Grout Revive

Advantages: Looks Good Until it gets wet
Disadvantages: Does not stick

...a tube of Evo Stick Grout Revive (white) I cannot remember the actual price but it cost around £4.50 for a 125ml tube. I followed the instructions to the letter and completed the job and very smart and clean it looked. The Grout Revive is applied direct from the tube via the sponge applicator attached to the head of the tube, very similar to the old plimsoll whitening applicator. The Grout Revive is applied on top of the old grout depositing a new ...
...After 4 hours the new Grout Revive should be sufficiently dried to allow you to wipe off the excess around the grout line with a damp sponge. When I had finished the grout on the wall adjacent to the shower looked as white and as new as the new grout on my freshly tiled walls. The Grout Revive should then be left for between 12 to 24 hours to allow it to dry completely when it should be waterproof. (As advertised) My problems started the morning ...

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 ...

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, ...
