    Leaking spindle on LSV

    The spindle on the LSV is leaking and I don’t fancy changing the valve for fear of starting with one leak and ending up with three! So, I am going to try the trick with Loctite 55 and wrap it around the spindle and put the nut back. My question is, should I also use a dab of hawk white or...

    Leaking sink trap - which washer?

    I have a dripping sink trap which it seems needs a replacement washer. Sink trap kits I've found contain the right type of washer - a flat O-ring, but the sizes tend to be 32mm or 40mm. The 32mm are a bit small and the 40mm way too big. Any idea what I should be looking for?
