Lectrician Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 You can find the mini trunking here. They do a few sizes. 34840[/snapback] When using this trunking - use some 'vanish' on it. Seriously, when I say vanish, I mean mastic/silicon when on PVC and decorators caulk when on masonary/wood. It takes the shadow away, hides the unevenness of the walls, and also gives the trunking a little more 'grab', as the adhesive does seem to give up after a while. If you put trunking on a wall/wood - don't be lazy - stick some screws in aswell. Email : martin@askthetrades.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian c Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 You can get a single cable type trunking that is only just big enough to sqeeze a single 6 or 8 core in, i am assuming the chaps are talking about this. It doesnt look like trunking till you have a cable in it, if that makes sense?Im just not sure about the physical size of it but im sure its self adhesive also. 34823[/snapback] That's exactly what I meant. I think it's called 'blazeaway'. It only fits one cable in it and has no lid, but it is self ashesive. If you don't know......ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what you learn around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IM_Alarms Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Ditto. I've used two part micro trunking before, but first i've heard of one part ! sound like a good idea. It's all good advice on here you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Teague Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Thanks for the link guy's, been trying to get this stuff for ages, as our local suppliers stopped doing it a while ago. We always knew it as "Rapid" S/A mini trunking & it came as a tube with about 100 2 metre lenghts. Lectrician's right about the silicone / caulk comment, which (with a damp cloth) also hides any cables stapled in the grooves of skirting when there's no other option for running / hiding a cable.

Service Engineer Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 A glue gun is a useful tool but I think some of you guys must use "superglue" !! ........................................................

Brian c Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Glue gun. Its the cable fixing daddy. 34879[/snapback] :no: I don't like to 'see' any cables. Use a bit of single cable trunking and if it's lidless, seal with a bit of filler. that way the cables has a bit of protection (at the sides) and will look exactly the same if the cable ever needs replacing. If you don't know......ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
