This is different to the kit I have & love. Is it any better than the old
blue one?

I bought a great equivalent from the local Pound Shop. Complete with tool
for removing old silicone. It all works well.

I have one of these packs and it's fine. I used all three profile
pieces during the cloakroom project together with the recommended
release agent.

If you feel aggrieved, take a trip on the M20 and visit a Leroy Merlin,
or jump on a Eurostar as it passes your door and go to BHV in Rivoli.
In both of these you will find a similar German product called
Fugenass.

For some reason, the marketing of this product in the UK has not been
all that successful. Seemingly people misunderstood.

Either way, you can visit the Aladdin's Cave which is the hardware
department of BHV and then have an excellent lunch of fruits de mer
before wending your way home.

This is a pilgimage that every handyman and self respecting DIYer should make.

I used to live just nearby BHV

I doubt it's ever possible to "find" anything in there. You just have
to wander around aimlessly, hoping you'll happen across it by chance.
Right little warren it is.

Last time I went in there a few weeks ago, they were re-organising it.
The electrical section had been temporarily moved upstairs to the
ground floor to make room for a sort-out, it appeared.

I agree with you about finding things. However, it is pretty well
staffed and the people do have pretty good product knowledge.

Surely Harrods would sell the fuggen things?

Almost certainly.

Probably even in ³Ã¼

You are thinking of the Fugi set - different make:

http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/search/3...ModPage=Search

I have both... the fugenboy is a harder material and hence may last
better on abrasive surfaces. It also has a smaller tool for getting
behind sinks etc that the original two part fugi lacked. Personally I
still prefer the fugi, but the other is still way better than nothing.

I've just watched the video on the Fugi. Is it really that easy to use to
give those results?

Spouse won't even lend his out, he couldn't believe the results.

Pretty much so yes. I wouldn't be without mine.

Yes, would probably be a fair answer. Have a roll of kitchen towel to
hand to wipe the thing from time to time, and a can of IPA to clean it
off properly from time to time, and you are set.

Some implausible essentials for good tiling etc.

* three quid on a _rubber_ sponge, not a foam one (Axminster)

* ten quid on a fuggen-piece-of-plastic

* Around a quid for a Stubai rubber Polyfilla mixing bowl

They just work better.
