"shouldn't doesn't mean arnt
So what do you do on timber floor either old t and g or chip
Don't say mastic 😀
I used putty to bed toilets down to wood floors back in the day when it was the norm to fix to bare wood floor.
Silicone still reasonably good for to a wood floor, but won’t have same grip strength as onto tiled floors would.
What happens if it's Lino still mastic ?
And can't imagine mastic and carpet mix
Not sure what was used, if anything, on vinyl tiles years ago. I suppose soft putty was still a possibility. I can’t remember what I used on them.
It is all coming back to me using putty. What horrible stuff it was and you could see it squeezing when the pan got final tightening. Then trim with a knife.
The oil from the putty soaked into floor and it always looked like a water leak.
Soft vinyl floors the pan tends to bed into nicely, but a bead of silicone keeps the area more hygienic because it prevents any damp getting below the pan.
Bet you mixed some paint with it 😀
I know this may have been asked, I have skim read this.
How did you break it?
I get your point and agree but you know how it is in England 🙂It's building regs
That way it would have been very messy after a curry night with lots of alcohol 🙂Better than a sit down Number 2
Ew !That way it would have been very messy after a curry night with lots of alcohol 🙂
I actually liked it 🙂 you shouldn’t have editedSorry Match, I edited that whilst you awarded me with the medal lol
My guess is Watertight has tried to ease the stupid thing off to get to into the cistern, cracked it and then for a micro second had that thought "maybe I can actually just do a runner?" but did the right thing and gone downstairs to be asked "how is it going?"...erm..
Yes mate, the nylon "L" brackets, really brittle and poor qualityWhat snapped? the stupid L brackets with loads of holes in Jonny?
how high were you swinging the toilet around to chip basin?
I came across something like this!! Thought it was cement- it could've been- had to smash pan and then hammer and chisel to get floor smooth. Got a nice fix with new pan.Linseed oil added sometimes. Had to work the putty in my hands like a baker with dough, to get it workable.
Boss White paste was good to first apply onto the dry old floorboards to get the putty to stick.
Glad to not be using putty now.
The putty on pans fitted 50 plus years ago turns as hard as stone on the wood and you have to carefully chisel it off, as you probably have come across
