    Spray some water onto it 8n s few hours, though it's usually only a worry about it setting too quick when it's warm, which obviously it isn't

    It’ll set..... you just might need to construct some kind of drawbridge type affair to get out the door for the weekend!!

    Do you need us to go out en masse and wrestle woolly cardies from little old ladies, and send you aid packages?!

  12. Didn’t take long but mixing was a pain in the arms as I did it in batches.

    It’s messier than I’d wanted but can get the snots up when it’s dry. If it dries.

  17. Yes but bus and bug playing up :/

    If I can find some 10mm thick I can maybe cut to use for rebate fill and for new jamb bit. Maybe.

    The door is 41mm thick and the rebate in the frame is 35mm. Grrrr
     
  18. Think I’ll need to get one soon. Did have an electric plane but a lot of my tools got damp in the cellar and refused to work :(
     
  19. So have you ruled out getting it routered out .
