Some time ago there was a recommendation for a caulking tool on this
group. We bought one and it was superb but I can't remember the name
and I want to recommend it to someone.

I think it was a Japanese-sounding name, it was plastic with several
profiles. Far, far better than fingers whatever anyone says!

Please can someone remind me?

Thanks, Jim, if that wasn't it it's near enough!

I knew someone here would come up with the right thing!

I believe there's a similar version called "fugi", which might tie in
with your "Japanese" memory.

Yes! That was definitely it. What's more Spouse dug it out when I said
Fugenboy - to prove me wrong of course - the Fugi has more pieces and
in two colours, no doubt for different applications. It's also more
expensive but it's been a real boon for him. I've supplied both names
to my contact and thank everyone for their help.

Well, I thought the same of you when I saw your post about how to
remove a leaking cell from a Maglite ... 'Tha's Andy!' went through my
mind :-)

We've had problems, desperate problems, because for the first time
ever we've had tradesmen in the house. We thought it would be quicker
to replace bay windows 'professionally' than for us to do the work.

No details but it hasn't been, it's been a nightmare. Over months.

And we've been to Greenland etc. and then my isp wasn't working well
and it's taken me at least two weeks to organise another and ...
and ...

Excuses, I know!

But it IS nice to be back :-)

*cough* been there, done that (tradesmen). I found that specific trades,
well trade worked quite well - that being a plasterer. However, general
builders have been the bane of my life.

Wibble. Isn't the only bit that's green the coastline? Other than that,
what's it like?

Given the state of the country, Greenland seems like a nice option.

I have a friend who rates Iceland highly, particularly at present. He
reckons the people are falling over themselves to apologise to the
Brits (which makes a change from most countries, where we're the ones
who ought to).

They also do some great deals on fish fingers.
