Thank you Henry, I appreciate the warning about the burner. I haven't unscrewed the air tubes, and won't unless there is a pressing need. I...
A nice sentiment Mike, I will take it on board.
You're probably right David, no point in getting perfectionist about it. On the other hand, @presscall initiated this thread on enamelling at...
Thanks for the ideas everybody. Another thing I'm picking up from various threads is the inadvisability of using anything other than vitreous...
With regard to whether to dilute the vinegar and by how much, and whether salt is also advised, there was a detailed question in this thread about...
Do you just eyeball the result, going by how it looks?
As for pre-cleaning, would it make sense to dump things like the burner in a dilute solution of water and vinegar for a period of time (20...
Thank you for that Jeff, will have a ponder. Your instructions imply new seals and possibly a new control cock. I can't locate the "brass GF" you...
Thank you Jeff. I have just searched the forum and I see lots of references to pressure testing, but I couldn't find a "how-to" guide for those...

In this recent thread on a Vapalux M320, I mentioned the Tilley we used when I was a child. I popped by my mum's house today and she says that...
Goodness, that one on the right is a bit of a looker. Well, they both are really.
Lit at around 5:30 PM, and placed on a table and used throughout the evening of Bonfire Night. Turned it off at 10:30 PM. My wife was, to my...
It is working well solely due to the detailed advice received here on the forum, for which I am grateful. When I lit the meths, the mantle...
And there you have it. [ATTACH]
Will reuse the old seal. Have found the mantle, but it's the only one I have. Starting to feel the pressure! The instructions seem clear enough:...
It's not as if my old dad didn't warn me more than once. "The mantle is fragile" he said. "Don't touch it" he said. So why did I pull it out and...
Thanks Chris, that helps a good deal. I don't think I have the final two seals you mention in this kit. Maybe the larger washer on the right in...
Quick shot of new and old NRV washers. [ATTACH]
