I think Hutchie62 got one for his new hard walled camper. Seems to work ok, but we're going to test it out this weekend at Mansfield

I saw the ad for the Stirling fridge at Aldi for $499 and did a bit of homework.   Turns out the Stirling fridge is a re-badged Waeco CF40 so we bought one to replace the CF25 we had in the back of our car.   Only difference between the CF25 and the Stirling 40 litre was the Stirling was a little wider.
I hate Aldi, everytime we go there we end up buying a couple of their special buys:   coats, spring collections, nyloc collections, fridges, garden hoses and on and on and on.

I would love one! For about 5 minutes... then it'd be yet another useless expensive piece of junk lying around the place. ;) I tried to talk my other half into letting me buy one when I saw them at Bunnings!  ;D
Lucky you didn't buy the Dremel branded one at Bunnings. Rubbish software and a "closed" development environment.

They take a couple of hours to put together, and have a really good Facebook support group.

Once they're set up, they print some awesome? things with them!

Silicon tape is back too for $6 a roll.



Anyone looking for a cheap workshop wet/dry vac.  The Aldi ones are pretty good for the price. Had one purely for home around 7 years now.  Noisy, but pretty effective.

Thermometer would be good for checking bearing temps if you're so inclined...

Is this any good and how many do I need for a 70sqm garage floor?
https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-4-november/saturday-detail-wk44/ps/p/wattyl-garage-floor-coating-kit/

Not sure of the quality, however Wattyl products are generally good.
With regards the quantity, given that you need to cover 70m2 and the kits are good for 32m2, I would say 3 kits.

Yep I read that first '32m2 per litre'

Then I read this at the bottom of the ad 'garage floor part A 3.33L (water-based epoxy), garage floor part B 670ml (water-based epoxy curing agent) A+B = 4L'

Hence my confusion...

You are correct in that it states 32m2/ ltr so at 4 litres = 128 m2 which is a big garage.
I think Aldi have mis represented coverage, although paint is always quoted as m2 per litre.
I would assume 8 m2 per litre would be a good estimate.
I gave my nephew a hand coating his garage but he got a product with flec in it direct from a supplier.
