Ls-x

What do you use it for?
I've looked on screwfix where its about £4 or a 50ml tube. Expensive for a jointing compound.
Got given 24 tubes of the stuff.

I use waterhawk when I need a paste for potable, boss white on heating and rocol on gas.

If you've got a trap that won't seal. Use it on o rings and things like that. I don't use it olives as that would cost a bomb. It's helped me out with a couple of toilets where the fill valve won't seal.

Any rubber washers really

A hand little tube to have IMHO

It's good stuff but I use it sparingly. My biggest gripe with it is that it cures even with the cap clean and firmly tightened.

If I'm using it on a multikwik etc, I just use sanitary silicon.

Also used it to seal the plate hex until I could get new o rings.

Looks like i've been missing a trick. Then again I think i'm the last plumber on this forum to buy a wet vac 🙂

I don't get the wet vac out all the time but I wouldn't be without it. It really does earn its space in the van!!

Fair play. I just find it helps me out in time of need!!

I used it the other day on a carp Ariston, the flow switch was leaking but when I replaced the fibre washer the o ring on the hx started leaking.

I generally use silicon grease on plate hx's and not had a problem (so far).

I used to use it but got sick of the end drying up and then having to spend ages digging it out and then still end up punching a hole in the side to get a finger full. I threw away far more then I used.

Water Hawk or Plumbers Gold is all I need.

 

[Kyle87]

Plumbers gold is great!!
Cake it onto everything Yeehaaaa

Old locksheild that weeps when balancing. Take out gland nut squeeze in tighten down and it's stopped leaking.

This is so true!

I have never finished a tube of lsx! It dries solid & just keep stabbing holes into it!

Fernox know there onto a winner...

I get on fine aslong as replace cap straight the way.

Just get a little bit of a nipple of silicone every time .

I always replace the cap straight away, otherwise I will kneel on the tube and we all know what will happen then... 🙁
