    Never mind about too hot to take the Spridget out.

    "Solar panels generate electricity from light, not heat. While sunny days boost production, extreme heat actually reduces efficiency. For every 1°C a panel rises above its ideal 25°C operating temperature, it typically loses between 0.3% and 0.5% of its efficiency."

    🤣🤣.

    What's the temperature today? Oh dear.

  • David Billington26 June 2026

    I seem to recall this problem came up maybe last year but can't recall the recommendations but IIRC there is a high temperature contact adhesive available. I did add that a mate was having problems with 3D printed instrument binnacle parts distorting in the heat and he had to reprint them in a material with a higher temperature tolerance, IIRC he found that temperatures inside the car were exceedi...

    Not tried it for your particular job, Guy, but have used successfuly for a number of jobs any number of weather proofing/ gutter sealing products. Sticks but dries flexible.
    Just a thought

    For this weather Sairset? ;)

    The glue I used when trimming the Frog has gone all sticky in this heat. Glue is supposed to be sticky, I hear you all cry in unison. Chanting, Life of Brian like. But being sticky it no longer stays stuck where it was placed. Going walkabouts.

    Any thoughtful recommendations for glueing the fabric backed vinyl to hardboard and painted metal?

    Glue used was Evilstink, correctly applied...

    Renter's Rights, and Theeves.

    If she doesn't get to remain the Chancellor of the Exchequer and has to vacate Number 11, before she can to move back to her house in Dulwich, she'll need to use the revamped Ground 1, and carry out a "no fault" eviction, as there is no longer section 21.

    Potentially stuffed by a policy she embraced. Wouldn't that be sweet justice.

    No wonder she's...

    Bruce,
    That makes two of us at least. I logged on to the MGA section of the MGCC but it now seems to want an extra different log on to update the database which I don't think I have.

    Sadly the Ida Bay railway (tramway) doesn't operate any more. It got a 'bit' run down and unmaintained, it was down south near Hobart as you mentioned--I've travelled on that one years ago, through the bush out to the beach as you say. There was talk of getting it going again but it'd be a big job now-

    This railway near home here is called Don River Railway run by volunteers and...
