Travis Perkins is warning that around 40 per cent of its branch network does not have enough cement to supply UK customers.

They have since increased their price of a bag by 15% this week .

Bit puzzled

1/8 rod is less than 3.3mm ?

Forgive me for stating the obvious but it need to be capable of being used in the vertical plane as well as the horizontal, hence the need for the packing blocks to contain the vessel in either.

If this is the largest boiler you intend making then suggest overall length plus a small working allowance .

I made mine so, and for smaller boilers I then added offcut spacer blocks to reduce the working space .

25mm bar , but what thickness and lengths ? Also , are you needing steel or aluminium ?

bill

Wooden frame lined with Celcon white insulating blocks, 100mm thick. Wood kept below block level.

Mine were all free from Travis Perkins - just ask for damaged ones and cut to size.

We were there at the same time . Had a pal called Roland Law - I think he was in R & D but may be wrong

Arrived at 79 today, so memory not as good as it used to be.

Caustic soda and acid and oil as you say is how I remember it .

Found the process at BFF on the same site interesting

Thanks for bringing back happy memories

Interesting post Steve as they sent me to UNI as well in the late 1970's.
