Thanks for all of that! I will chew this one over. I may check out
more expensive models, and see what I am getting, or if there is a
"middle road" )some of them are a couple of grand!)

Talking of accuracy. When I have help my FIl lay out pads a couple of
times, using a dumpy, I used to get really ****ed off. I would tap in
a peg, and p8ut the staff on top and he'd say "down a tap" and we'd go
again..."up" (pull) "down" (tap) etc etc. We would have been talking
0.5 mm ? I have to suppose he worked to edges of the markings on the
staff! G

Mind you, I have never seen more level pads thatn that guy did. Scary.
When you wet them down after laying, and kept them wet, there was
_never_ a pool anywhere.

Hi Nick,
Reply below each question.
regards,

John
