Saucy

Her majesty has gone to visit her friend for a few days, so I have decided to bite the bullet and get on with a small job that I have been putting off.
We have a small, ex pantry that now homes and combination boiler and various bits and pieces.
The walls are damaged and painted in gloss pink by the previous owner.
I want to level the walls and cut back the gloss so I can paint with white emulsion.
I know that this will create a lot of dust so plan to use my ROS connected to a vacuum cleaner.
The ROS has a strange shaped outlet that connects to a filter that I know will not be able to control the dust.
I tried several different things but couldn’t find a solution. So I had a rummage in the recycle bin and came up with this…..

The container shrinks extremely well when applying a hot air gun.

That looks like a great solution. Brilliant to use whatever is to hand. Good luck with the job.

Fantastic
On that theme....
Got a bargain stairgate from the charity shop for when Houdini the Grandson visits
Nearly new and at at under three quid its a bargain ,considering we got the same one from Argos back in spring for ten times the price, but discovered that amongst the fittings the little plastic cups that screw to the wall were absent.
You can get them on ebay for just under a tenner for four
Yeah right.

Jam jar lids to the rescue!

Excellent solutions, both of you.

Lurker, I understand how you have got the bottle to conform to the sander, but I don't see how you got it to conform to the inside of the nozzle. What am I missing?
