Bathroom Ceiling Filler

Dandytf

I have Stanley from Sat Cable times, seems fine to cut Coving, though I now appreciate Edges at risk of being uneven or break.

Very little waist from 1st Cut, I'll need some White Filler where Flat roof has a very slight Gap.
I'll then re paint Ceiling before using Adhesive, meanwhile enjoy weekend inc' final three cuts.

Almost ready for late afternoon tomorrow.
If I use Filler top of Socket, is it going to be o.k. to remove Socket again once Cover arrives next week.
Example Socket Screw tonight, any excuse to use Macallister Drill!

That's certainly an extended screw length, probably fitted when the wall was tiled. It also looks bent, so should be replaced for that reason alone.

When you undid it, how far did it unscrew before it came free?

Electric ScrewDriver -90% length before loosening by hand.
I have 2nd screw tomorrow or Sun.
Does using a line of Filler above socket risk it sticking next week for Cover to be fitted.

thanks

The filler should dry within a day or two, so should be fine when you come to fit the cover

Purchased Electric screws and Filler Tool.

Re Filled....then disaster struck, Force Feedback from Right Screw Damaging Brand New Socket.

Final shot, Kettle works!

You shouldn’t use an electric screwdriver on those screws!  That actually looks like a drill, that’s even worse even if it is variable speed.

Use a manual screwdriver next time.

You need to get that socket replaced by someone that knows what they’re doing.  And get them to do the sealant too!
