    *Thank you* Bill. It's all really simple once you know how. It's like the joke about the person charging *$1,000* to fix a machine by spending *5 seconds* tapping it on the side with a plastic hammer. Costing was *$0.50c* for the tap and *$999.50* acquiring the knowledge on where to tap and how much force to use.
    Hope you and your family had an enjoyable day off on Wednesday.
    *Thank you* for all your helpful videos this year especially the ones that showed me how to fix the holes in plasterboard, cracks in plasterboard and the easy way to clean paint rollers. I think you did a couple on caulking and applying silicone but the old brain decided it wants a break now.
    Have a great New Year Bill. 👍

    Great video. I’ve only an issue with the seat damping not working, the lid is fine. Is it easy to see which piston controls which function before I start trying to sort mine out?

  • @deebee3901
    @deebee3901 19 днів тому +2

    Excellent video mate. Is damping grease is just silicone grease?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  19 днів тому +2

      Silicone grease is more used as a lubricant rather than for friction. Damping grease is best for slowing or controlling motion👍

    I have a 'soft close' toilet seat that I recently replaced a normal close seat with. What I have wondered ever since I have had it is WHY? What possible benefit is a 'soft close' seat over a normal close seat? In my circles people do not 'slam' toilet seats, but close them in an appropriate manner. I see no benefits at all.

  • @imissmydog8279
    @imissmydog8279 18 днів тому +1

    I'm not going to fix mine because soft-close lids close too slowly for my liking, and I initially found myself slamming other people's toilet lids because I expected it to soft-close!

    • @SirGregoryPageTurner
      @SirGregoryPageTurner 15 днів тому +1

      When visiting someone, the slamming toilet seat reminds them to fix or replace their toilet seat.
