On an aside - beware of Screwfix NoNonsense resin. Unlike the Fischer
stuff which fits a normal mastic gun, the Screwfix stuff is a much wider
cartridge that needs an oversized gun.

Hmm, are there not two different standards for cartridge size there? There
are over here, presumably with the larger one being for professionals who
get through a lot of stuff - but almost always I find that the vendor
does a smaller version too (it's just harder to find and more expensive)


Must be I guess. I've been used to one "normal" cartridge size - and was
pleased to find the Fischer resin was that size.


For reasons I don't fully understand, many of the resin carts seem to be
a larger size and require a different gun.

(bit irritating in the same was as some of the guns won't take the
longer tubes used by gripfill etc)
