    No, but I make extensive use of dust cloths in my shed purely to keep the dust off things and control condensation.
    Perhaps a smear of grease to dull the gloss off and get some dust adhering?

    A 10A plug can go into a 15A socket but from memory a 20A socket is different again. If you swap them over you may have to make up adapters so you can use your 10A plugged tools.

    It is always good to have someone else to blame. Maybe you could use that excuse on "you know who", as well.

    Do you have 20A wiring to your GPO's? Is a 20A plug of a different design to 10 and 15A? I can't remember. At some point it changes to a 3ph style connector from memory.

    Give it a quick sprinkle with dust and dog hair and then claim you had it it for ages

    TIG is harder than I thought. The plasma works a treat tho..lot better than Oxy/acet cutting


    I will have to do a lot of practicing for tig...and to help start me off I am going to build/make a welding table/trolley for mig, and token tools Tig and both bottles.
    Got some 50 rhs from a school that was used for benches/desk in computer room that I will cut and shut to make welding table. Thinking of cutting in half (almost) the 6mm steel top bench I got some time ago and use that as the top. The top will be 900x700. That will leave me with a smaller work bench of about 1500x700 for general work...if I keep it free off stuff...and when I relocate folder to other work bench.

    My tip for plasma cutting is that you want the jet to be exiting the work with a slight deflection. If it's going straight through you'll get excess dross, so you need to drop the amps or increase your travel speed.

    My tip for TIG is to buy 10 packs of 2% lanthanated tungstens of Ebay in the sizes you use (I got 1.6 and 2.4) so when you've dipped the tungsten to the extent that the arc is wobbling all over the shop, you can swap it out for a new one, and get back to welding. Once all 10 are screwed, I take the lot over to the linisher, chuck each one in a drill and sharpen them up - only takes about 10 seconds to do each one.

    As you get less worse, the walks of shame to the linisher become less frequent. Trying aluminium, however, tends to turn that promising trend around, as once things start to go pear-shaped, I think the cleaning part of the AC cycle causes globs of crud to leap onto the electrode tip, ruining the electrode extra-fast in a flash of green and creating a thick coating that's a bugger to get off - for those I pass them by the grinding wheel first to strip the crud.
