My Uncle Phil (mum's brother) now sadly long departed was an avid slot-car man. Small Scalextric size stuff in his garage, 4 lane DIY track from hardboard and foil strips. In summer we raced 1/24 (or something like that) cars on an outdoor track, faster and more spectacular on (OK, coming off at) the corners.

It's actually ideal. The "instant gratification" was aimed at getting it "instantly".

Bingo. Give the man a prize ???? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/loctite-495-401-406-ca-20-g-super-bonder-instant-adhesive-loctite495-loctite401-loctite406-tss-i304242164-s14161550130.html

Yeah ^^^, I was hoping for instant gratification ????

The application requires a low-viscosity adhesive (so it will wick into the joint) that cures rapidly (glued area is quite large but the bond thickness is very small) whilst allowing a little "adjustment" time. The regular one-part cyano is just a little too quick, I need 10-20 seconds of wriggle time before it grabs.

Not a problem, thread moved ???? The forum itself is here: - https://aseannow.com/forum/319-alternativerenewable-energy-forum/

This will probably do better over in Alternative Energy, let's move it and see what occurs.

The problem is I don't have the "slow" cyano, the stuff I have is the "instant" variety. Now if someone has a link to a local source of the slow stuff ...

Yeah, I found the same stuff on Ali (shipping from Turkey). The lower cost versions don't ship here possibly due to Hazchem issues ????

Not really, it needs to be able to bond fairly rapidly (10-20 seconds) and be of low viscosity to flow into a very thin joint face. Regular cyano works, but it's just a tad too fast, need just a little adjustment time.

Offset your increased A/C energy consumption (house bricks optional) ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cooker

Do you have a specific issue? Bugs, stains or something else?

I need some "slow" cyano, this sort of thing: - Amazon are showing OOS/not Available https://www.amazon.com/Super-Spray-Adhesive-Activator-MITREAPEL/dp/B08CC9D439/ Bright ideas?

Or white-line cameras, or just traffic monitoring.

I think this topic has run its course, it's now. If anyone has a really good reason to re-open PM myself or any online mod and plead your case ????

I just had to Google it, and yes, Titanic did have a pool. It probably is still full too, but it's apparently behind a closed watertight door on the wreck https://emmacruises.com/inside-the-titanics-swimming-pool-real-photos-restrictions-and-design/

13 units over 24 hours averages out at around 540W. If we assume the major consumer of juice is the A/C then 540/2000 would put it running at about 27% which is pretty ok for this time of year. Add on your fridge/freezer (which will also be working harder) and I don't think that's entirely unreasonable. For a (not very good) comparison: - Over the weekend when we have family visiting (so 3x12,000 BTU A/C running only at night) we will swallow >50 units in 24 hours. On a weekday when it's just myself and Madam (1x12,000 BTU A/C again only at night) our consumption is around 32 units in 24 hours. But our biggest single consumer of energy is Madam's ruddy 15,000 litre koi pond. Pumps, UV, air pump - The load isn't massive but it's 24/7/365. Cooling isn't cheap! Have you got that fan yet?

You need to look at the actual PEA/MEA tariffs. Like income tax, it's on a sliding scale, the more you use the more you pay per unit. If you are comparing users with similar usage rates a simple Baht / Units calculation works, but if you have a very low user (who could even be getting his power free) vs someone swallowing 1,000 units a month it just doesn't work. Both MEA and PEA have online bill estimators which do the hard sums for you. The PEA one is here eservice.pea.co.th/EstimateBill/ Our last bill was 3.8 Baht / kWh. But that was for 85kWh so we get every low-usage discount available except the free power one (we have the wrong type of meter). EDIT We actually used >900kWh in that billing period. Now tell me having solar isn't economical ????

I'll never understand the logic behind where immigration officers (not just here) place their incoming stamps (outgoing invariably go next to the relevant incoming). Is it just to annoy us or is there some mysterious reasoning.

Just remember: -

Medium sized X-breeds (soi dogs) can be very effective and are, as you say, low cost / low maintenance. In realty any dog will make potential intruders think twice. Even our two chihuahuas are effective alarms and set off the "real" security - geese! No intruder in his right mind will take on an annoyed gander!

Provided you don't have any 3-phase appliances, you will need a "single-phase kit" for your distribution board and for PEA to replace your meter. Personally, I'd stick with 3-phase if you already have it, the main failure mode we have here is loss of one phase, of course it's always the one we are on. At least with 3-phase 2/3 of your kit still works.

Nurse I could go for ????
