Was struggling to think of how to hold UPVC trim in place at the top of a window while the glue firmed up.
Bingo!

Hi Colin, Another trick for putting up trim without nailing is to use 100% silicone caulk and hot melt glue. First apply daps of silicone, then dabs of hot melt glue and quickly stick it in place. Hot melt provides a temporary hold and the silicone glues it permanently. But go bars work too, and it is always good to have more than one way to pluck a catgut! |

When I first joined the OLF around 2006ish there was a post about archeologists believing that ancient humans used sticks in caves as go-bars to clamp stuff back then too. When you have lemons as they say...

I opened this thread fully expecting to read about the merits of 192g vs 315g HHG for second fix/finish carpentry and a light flame war about the perils of using fish glue for mouldings around a south-facing window. Great use of go-bars. But I’m slightly disappointed  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I was curious to see if he regained use of his fingers. If he can improve afterwards. I figured that if he saw improvement after hi accident, maybe I could improve after my strokes. Sent from my SM-A205YN using Tapatalk |

Speaking of Colin Symonds, has anyone heard from him lately? I'd like to get in touch with him. I'm making a guitar with some Caucasian Spruce he sent back in 2008 or so. It'd be nice to hear how he's doing. |

I think Colin has given up making instruments as I heard he'd given all his wood to Dave White (remember him?). He's still active on the British 'Acoustic Soundboard' forum, as is Dave White. |
