Top and bottom for completeness, does this help a little?

I've tried a reverse google image search on it with no success. We have been using plain flexi tabs (made for the charnwood tab gun) they work but not as good as they probably should. Something like these https://charnwood.net/product/flexible-tab-pack-of-2500/?srsltid=AfmBOoq0eT6dBuS-aRIh8JmO2xQ2 ...

It looked like it had a label on it at one stage but it has fallen off. The patent number points to Fletcher Terry but I cant find a red plastic of their point guns, both present and past.

Does anyone know what is it, and what tabs will it take?
thanks in Advance..

I find a very large proportion of NI listed items are fraudulent because they require most UK people to catch a ferry, that persuades most people to pay for item and postage.

There are bargains but turn up and buy in person.

The other sheet in the box was not square, (I checked the diagonals), only 115.5cm long and had a scratch. I will send it back.

I am cutting a 905mm x905mm square from a 915mmx1220mm sheet of Trueview UV70 anti-reflective glass.

Been having problems with the gas fitting, presumed it was me.

I checked my square, its spot on. checked the glass but its not square. On the short side its around 5mm out on the end that is ...

Hi Prospero, were they box frames with spacers?

Slightly related. If anyone is interested Lidl sometimes sell them for £6. I think straps are about 10ft long.

Does anyone else have an opinion about 3mm acrylic glazing for a 900x1200mm box frame? I really need to place an order this morning if possible... thanks in advance.

Thanks Mark, I will await a few more opinions before I order 3mm... anyone?

I am using 6mm wide spacers that are about 12mm deep. I normally use 2mm glass but I need to do one in acrylic, would 3mm be thick enough ?

thanks in advance.

Found a replacement spring for about £4 each so replaced them both, working a treat now. If anyone needs to do so get in touch..

Yes, I hate the throwaway society and always make do and mend if possible. We even wash out sandwich bags, dry and reuse them to reduce one use plastic waste.... its reminded me, although its slightly off topic, has anyone tried and can recommend an environmentally good way to wrap pictures for ...

The consensus is definitely "hold down". I think I have generally been holding against the vertical fence, I will make a change to my technique and see if I can eradicate the odd gap in a corner....

Thanks for all of your input.... It's very much appreciated.
