Re: Installing dado rail electrical trunking

Thank you, ericmark, for your thorough reply. It looks looks like I'd be better off by not disturbing the cable between the sockets and connecting the dado trunking as a fused spur. I understand that there is 'no limit' (within reason!) to the number of sockets on a spur and the total proposed power...

Re: What paint, please, for copper pipes?

Thanks for the info about oil based undercoats, S.

I ask because other websites have people who seem to have had good experience of using water based paints.
Cheers and thanks again,
CJ

Is there a paint that IS suitable for copper (or is there a type of paint that should NOT be used on copper pipes?) I'd be very grateful for any ...

Re: 12V Video Doorbell Intercom

Thanks Mr White,
I have looked at Google and there very few, usually in the £250+ price bracket!
Looks like I'm 'stuck' with audio only as I won't justify a price that high.
Thanks
