After tipping my bottle of EMA plastic weld over for the upteenth time to the destruction and damage of the work bench top and surrounding plastic and pla parts:'( I decided to stop it happen in EVER again. I stuck the bottle to a piece of square styrene (ply or something similar would also work).


Problem solved.

Alwyn you know why you keep tipping over the EMA bottle don't you ? It's the fumes, Enough to knock over a charging elephant let alone cause infirmity in a mere man,
Best bond between 2 pieces of Plasticard available though

Good solution (sic) Alwyn, but nailing the styrene to the table may be a good idea given the storm due to visit us tomorrow!!!

We've already experienced Dudley and that wasn't a lot of fun! I tried walking the dog in the local park and had a couple of interesting experiences with heavy gusts, the dog was decidedly underwhelmed, and we beat a hasty retreat to hearth and home (and man cave of course). Tonight is forecast to be pretty evil with some SNOW expected, What the !£$% we are on the coast already - it just isn't supposed to snow here!

Anyway I'm battening down the hatches and putting the wheelie bins away in preparation.

I'm lucky to own a set of hole saws, therefore a suitable sized hole in a scrap of wood works for me.

I opened a bottle of that stuff a while ago for a small job, the bottle had a metal lid, went to use it again month's later, and the whole bottle had evaporated away

Alwyn, I hope you don't have a small dog, otherwise people may give you strange looks for thinking you're flying a kite in such strong winds

Mick it was more a case of my rather large labradoodle preventing me from becoming the kite!
So far we are ok as Storm Eunice hasn't made her presence known but that is all due to change this evening, we are being warned of 80mph winds, so the next posting may be from Kansas or maybe eastern Europe.

If that is the case, don't you have to click the heels of your red slippers three times and think of home

I am hoping the wind will be from the East so that the nice Ms Poppins can blow in and take control of the grandkids over the half term holidays

Good afternoon,
You have done nothing wrong til' you have inadvertently flung your nearly complete ( painted ) figure headfirst into a bottle of paint. Harmonica Girl ended up in the acrylic Brown that I was doing her hair with. At least it washed off with warm water but sheesh!

I have a rack full of 15mm bottles. They never tip over, although I've been known to.
A similar, scaled-up rack populated by EMA bottles, might be the answer- (I nearly wrote 'solution'; but GJ noticed the trap). Just remember- through the heady fumes- to put the bottle back in the holder immediately after use- EVERY TIME, Alwyn.
'Eunice' is scheduled to deliver blizzards to North West Scotland, but without the tile and tree-launching winds ( I hope). 'Malik' dumped my compost bin lid in the middle of a field; but I learned long ago not to leave the washing out...
A blizzard might well demand some internal central heating, courtesy of an aged single-malt.
