Looks like it might be a useful thing to chuck in the toolbox...

What do folks think of the grouting set for £2.99. Is that going to be any good for smoothing out silicone?The ones recommended here were around £10, which seemed a lot for some bits of plastic. Can't remember the name, I'm afraid.

The Lidl kit is OK. I use mine for mortar based grout and keep the Fugi set for silicone etc.

Tried similar, useless.

Fugen or FugenBoy

The Lidl set is excellent, buy one immediately!

Yes, but is the grouting set the same as the silicone set? If so I'll get one. Thought it might be a harder plastic on the grout one.

Btw, I notice that the angle grinder on offer for 30quid has a really compact gearbox head so should get in a lot closer than most cheapies. My current one is lucky to get a 70mm cut (pertinent atm as I am cutting a 3" cast iron stack with only access to one side).

Hopefully, nobody will use the stack whilst you are cutting it, or you will find out what happens when the s*it hits a spinning disc. ;)

Fortunately this is the waste stack so only grey water, the foul stack is 4" so will require a new technique when it is done and yes, all cisterns will be drained, all pans will be cling filmed and duct taped. Nothing will be left to chance.

AFAIK its the same.

Thanks, I'll check them out when they come available.
