mine is back to normal now ... font was like half the thickness of normalstruggled to load forum in last 10mins here, suddenly back to normal
like a spider web line thickness ... looked really weird
leaves a pretty decent finish TBH James .... coffee jar full of water and just leave 'em under water ..... good shake and roll the residue out of the roller ... I use the underside of me bench .. it's multi coloured
the water doesn't really soak in, to the roller, a lot ... and keeps the paint from the air, so doesn't go hard ..... in work, where I had a lot of rollers, they just lived in a bucket of water, still on their 24" handle ... shake and a bit of a roll out ... ready to go Do you thin the paint when rollering or just pour it into the tray straight from the tin Graham? Any tips for keeping trays clean/ready to go?!leaves a pretty decent finish TBH James .... coffee jar full of water and just leave 'em under water ..... good shake and roll the residue out of the roller ...

sod faffing with a tray ..... just dip the roller in the pot, shake off the excess and bollock it on MB .... can cover some ground with a dip .... those ramps on the bench for the mower, were two dips a side ...... 4'6" x 2' plus lips ...... and get a real good cover .... neat out the pot usually, but sometimes have to thin the HBZP oxide as that can be like treacle

never tried a schultz gun, on anything but schultz, but bet it fair chucks it on
... I've got a hydraulic powered airless spray unit, which is for serious spraying ... water pistol for paint ... puts it on as fast as you can keep up, but the clean up is such a faff ... need to be painting a LOT to warrant getting it out ..... will kill a 25 litre drum of paint in some order ... neat out the drum ..... was bloody great for boats and big fuel tanks .... OK on structural too, but had to get it all laid out ready first .... and needed plenty of space and trestles ... the gun is on the end of 100 ft of hose .... could spray a 40 ft box as fast as you can walk along itSounds ace - I hate painting and would much rather have it coming out really fast everywhere than fanny about waiting to get stuff covered. Paint is (relatively) cheap, time isn’t!never tried a schultz gun, on anything but schultz, but bet it fair chucks it on

Flying home from Bristol airport years ago, standing in the que to board the plane when a girl (a real looker too) came up and started chatting to me, an Irish girl, called me by name and all! Cracked and chatted for a good few mins, asked how I was and what I was doing in Bristol? I chatted back to and answered all her questions etc. She then looked at me and said "you don't know who I am do you" I said, not a fu#king clue!!...... she laughed and walked awayyeh get that a lot ..... people say hi regularly and I spend the next 20 -30 minutes trying to work out WTF they are ... some are like long, lost uncles ..... and I have no ****ing idea who they are

) memory like a f****ng hawk and by f**k he got around.... Did a similar thing with Taylor a while back. For those on the old forum he also knows Dehane from the North Devon Link Road days, and another friend from Stockport from a Miller Mining project. It's a f****ng small world!
have you got a pic Rory ... his name rings a bell, but as said... terrible memory for names.. much better at faces ....... it is a VERY small world and gets smaller the older you getTrouble with Chris is he f****ng got about back in the day.... If it was anyone else you'd write it off as someone nodding and going, Yeah, Yeah I know them..... Trouble is he genuinely does! ("Milsteel had cranes did'nt they"
It's a pity he's never wrote a book as the storys and knowledge is incredible, from the true glory days of our industry (1950's - early 2000's) been around the world doing concrete pumps/shotcrete among any other things. Hell of a brain!
well ..... the lad PM-ed me some pix of Chris earlier ..... one of him hiding behind a radial drill, one of the back of his head, one of the top of his head and one of his bobble hat ..... surprisingly I didn't recognise him ........ yethave you got a pic Rory ... his name rings a bell, but as said... terrible memory for names.. much better at faces ....... it is a VERY small world and gets smaller the older you get
... ... we were about out - again .... couldn't get our usual six, 4 pinters last time she went shopping for us ... that'd last us weeks
