Thank you angmc, Sally and Josef1. The process is what interests me but I am no photographer as I shake too much and battle with the focus.

Thanks Dennis. I do use binding wire but after your message I tried to ensure that the joint stays closed by using clamping tweezers and heating from the opposite side but the wire fractured into...

Well done Sam.k

Hi Dennis. I am talking about the spring shaft inside the flex outer. Seems to called the core and is available in Australia but I cannot find one in the UK.

Dennis, are you saying that the oil is from the torch? I can understand that I may have a problem with the gas but not why I should replace the torch. I do have the problem that the jets is getting...

Why do I get grey areas on sterling and on 999 when cleaning using the sonic bath? I use distilled water and amonia as cleaning agent. The photo is an attempt to show this but it is very difficult to...

Cartres, check the direction. At the top of the motor is a black three way switch for Off, Forward and Reverse. From your description it sounds as if the motor is running in reverse as has been...

Well done Ajda. I agree with the judges.

I agree - well deserved. Congrats Dennis.

Very good tip miz G. Thanks.

Had me going until "cold distillation". Good one.
