Plastic Padding Leak Fix is the one usually found available. Halfords, and any DIY source.
It's an epoxy putty. Sold as a bar that you cut a bit off, knead plaster into place. It sets in
10-15 minutes. Also sold in pre-cut chunks.You can get it in B&Q and other DIY sheds. Our local hardware shop sells it. Some sticks are copper coloured to match copper pipe. Others are light blue, terracotta or brown.
OK... Seems I already have some of that stuff. I thought the stuff I saw advertised was different in as much as you could apply to a dripping joint. Didn't take a lot of notice to the Ad as I never had a problem till now. Thanks
Tele? Wossa tele? Some sort of duck, innit? Or do you mean telly?
JGH
"Tele" short for television. "Telly" short for tellytubby ;)
