Guest anguscanplay Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 just anyone who has spent any serious time on service, and that means into the early hours will just hate tape joints with avengeance, they never get put right util you had to trace them, and are often hidden in the most awkward to find places. a j/b is also good but where the repair has to be when dealing with a laminate floor, it's not always easy to make it look nice. regs alan as someone who has serious time spent under floors its all down to doing the job properly in the first place with the quality stuff - not the woollies 99p bargain bin tat but from the introduction of EN?????? g3 its soldered joints inside devices only now im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i don't do this often anymore, one device, one cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
