After a lot of coaxing, and screwing the rad inserts(?) in a bit more to give me space I got the rad refitted without the wall cracking. The little tidy caps were a fucker and had to be modified and I brushed them to get rid of the shiny finish.
Annoyingly I didn't watch any videos before so didn't know I had to put sealing compound on. So far no leaks, but still a bit nervous.
Does anyone have any tips on how to disguise the white plumbers tape? I need some model paint to touch up some marks on the nuts, but painting the tape feels like a bad idea.
Looks good, to get rid of the tape run a Stanley knife around the joint close to the rad and then along the fitting, remove the excess. Job done, the tape is sealing inside the fitting so cutting and removing won’t disturb it.
