It is somewhat of a hobby to get stuck into pomposity I must admit, however I am always prepared to admit when I am wrong. Read the straw drylining thread on Builders to see that. Another classic subject for a good row is dayrates and scribing internals on skirting. I love a good row but in this case the pomposity,arrogance and rudeness of Mr Macauley means he gets everything he deserves.
Oliver1234, I wasn't going to add anymore to this thread, but I just wanted to say thanks for wading in. A thankless task and much appreciated. Ok, now that I'm here.. Captain Leaky, I'm all for a bit of **** taking, but Lamello's opening salvo was beyond the pale. So I responded in kind. But hey, I don't want start an argument about an argument.. Lamello, thanks for the invitation to continue. No thanks. I think we've both said plenty and it's all there for everyone to read and draw their own conclusions. Thanks for reading everyone. Hope you enjoyed it. cheers Malcolm
So to surmise in essence what you are trying to say is that you got draggged down to my level. Nonsense you are a odious little man with no comprehension of the rude way in which you present yourself. I hope you continue through life in this way and one day the penny may drop that the reason why people think you are a finger clicker and rude is because you are a finger clicker and rude. Oliver the original response to the post was from me. My response was not a set up to get stuck into him, it was a question as to why he needed seals as there is no need in a well designed kitchen. Its perfectly reasonable question one to which Mr Macauley decided to stamp his feet and demand answers to his question. If you have issues with misinformed plumbers address them to them. As I've said before there is a wealth of information on here to be tapped into just the way to tap into it is not to act like a spoilt child as evidenced by Mr Macauleys failure to obtain his answer despite 40 posts on the subject.
Actually Lamello I wasn't particualry targetting you when I said "there are people on here....." although I apologise as I now realise that it did look that way. I was generalising, it is very easy I think to get carried away with arguments particuarly when you cannot see or hear the people you are arguing with. In fairness to you did apologise for you post re: wattle and daub, well done and no offence intended.
If our mate Malc was let loose with a skeleton gun and a tube of decorator's filler would we have to rename him Macauley Caulkin' ? Ok so it was a s* joke but I got the count on the posts on this thread up to 50!!

I Know exactly what your looking for, I used to contract to a kitchen supplier that had these seals fitted as standard, they had brown edged cabinets with a brown bubble seal fitted all around the front edge, this seal had a tongue on the back and was set into a small groove in the cabinet edge. All the contract installers were issued with lengths of seal with the tongue on and coils of a self adhesive option as well. The self adhesive seal is not a full bubble the best way I can explain it is its a curved moulding of soft rubber on a stiff backing with a self adhesive strip and it gives the apperarance of a bubble seal. I have a 3 metre coil of the self adhesive strip you can have for the cost of the post and packing. I am now no longer contract fitting but involved with a design studio suppling high end kitchens and bathrooms and interestly one of our German suppliers has a cabinet with a bubble seal to the front edge but we cant get the seal as a seperate item. If the 3 metres are of use to you let me have some contact details
Hi Zuggle, Thanks for the reply and your very kind offer. That's exactly the stuff I'm looking for. Our bathroom cabinets have the inserted stuff you describe (I thought they were stuck on until closer inspection), but this would be a factory job or at least beyond my routering skills. Self-adhesive seems like an easy option. Is your stuff brown or white? If white, then yes please I would like to take up your offer. Plus some extra for beers for your trouble. Unfortunately brown would look a little odd as I have white cabinets and high-gloss white doors. If you have the white, please send me a blank email (say with "door seal" in the header - otherwise gmail spam catcher might get it) and I'll reply with details and I can get yours for BACS, PayPal or whatever. My email is macaulaymalcolm atttt gmail dotttt com Thanks again for your reply and offer. Much appreciated. cheers Malcolm
HiGloss white doors! UUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! Especially with the grease coating! They had to be white to match the white floor tiles, the white worktops, the white glass splashbacks and the white walls. The handles aren't white though - that would look odd.

I wouldn't recommend fitting a Belfast or any other type of ceramic sink. You'll never find it!!
