I always skim over with SLC so as not to damage cables. Also gives extra benefit of distributing the heat more evenly. | ||

PlasPlugs make one. I used one with WarmUp loose wire and BAL Fast Flex and it was fine - it would definitely have lasted more than one job if I had bothered to clean it up . Found it in a local tile shop and it only cost a few quid. Mark | ||||||||||

You should get one for about 2.99, if you take a file and file down the edges of the u shaped notch it doesnt catch the matting as much, make sure all your products are flexable by the way | ||||||||||
