You put NO compound on the thread. The immersion is supposed to have

heated up,
take it off and then lightly smear compound on both edges of the

washer.
Putting compound on the thread with act like glue and weld it in, in

making some of them near impossible to remove.

Halleluiah! I've seen the light! Drivel said something sensible!

It's eerie isn't it ?

Twice in one week is more scary than eerie

What was the other time? Must have missed that.

I can't remember, but he / she / it definitely said something
uncharacteristically sensible

... **** happens


Maxie, I was in Costo in Watford today. Great tellies there.

I didn't even know that they had a plumbing section

Were you sacked from your last place then ?
