    Hi UV
    Can you do a comparison between the Flexisander & your Trio?
    Cheers Tony

    It's like the sisalkraft but the one that havwoods supplied, king??? Something ?
    I got these readings with my new testo and it wasn't or isn't 100% watertight, as you can see with the picture, might have just been a bucket gone over

    Obviously going to sand and finish with trio and bona flex and I will let you know,
    Going to use the morrells base and two finish coats with the morrells Uv matt product, same as I have been using on the existing building
    They haven't got time on the program to leave it to cure before they use it, either by giving it to the client or other trades on protection as it will bloom if the protection is put down to quickly

    It's the testo 606 2, I think and was around £160 without looking it up,
    It's small and handy and ideal for wood and climate testing.

    I thought when using a pin meter you had to go with the grain instead of across it.

    I have never heard that but it might be true, it wasn't on the instructions,do you think it would make that much difference, I will have to try it and check

    I was always told to test with the grain but always test both ways (in an OCD manner) and get the same reading..

    This is what happens when the jobs are not watertight

    Is that a new floor? Has it come from the top or from underneath?

    From the side, run down the wall and along the partition, it's only about 2 to 3 m2 that's damaged,
    I noticed it before we laid it, and they told me the roof was fixed, never listen to the builder :mad:
    He will have to pay for it anyway

    Never look at the obvious, always thinking out of the box...
