That really kick started my hatred for it. Stuck under a "mobile home" for two days, in the cold, dark and wet replacing plastic pipe for copper using pushfit copper fittings!
Had to work on my back, amongst dead mice, droppings and try to shuffle about under the chassis which came as low as my chest!

You buy the holder which is a pen type thing and a pack of these rope type things which go in the pen. You light em with a lighter/ blowtorch/ on the hob, and then blow the flame out so they just smoke, last for as long as you want, 1 stick lasts for ages, when you have finished your spillage test you extinguish the cartridge completely and it is ready to be re-used next time. They are a little pricey but WELL worth the money IMHO. Don't think I'll ever use a match again.

A custard last week (engineering background) had drawn a boiler template on the wall he'd researched to tell me where and how to fit it (cos they dont come in the box do they), even told me the best place i should run pipework.And how to hang rads..He didnt realise the flue would go straight into the back of a cast stack....didnt plan for that did ya mouth. and heres my drill and level i'll be in the van.
