lowlandtrees Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Had a problem with the fridge a while back.......the drain was blocked and it was flooding. Used an old D string to push down the drain hole......solved. Today the main kitchen drain was blocked. The pipe has 3 bends on it so the purpose made tool would not go round the bends. Found an old B string and pushed it down there using pliers to turn and wiggle it round the bends......and done it. I know......what a rock n roll life ! But take note..........don t chuck yer old strings...you never know when they might come in handy...now I m sounding like ma old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Do they work well for plastic appliances or are they just good for metal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I always use the old E roundwounds for that stupid drain thing down the back of the fridge, most of the others seem to end up supporting something in the garden. Since we got a new fridge/freezer a few months back I haven't done it yet - thanks for the reminder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 What a good idea! I shall be doing this forthwith. Thanks for the tip :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Great stuff. The problem I had when I had a spare string lying around, was when my cat was alive she loved playing with them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super al Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thank you lowlandtrees, a brilliant idea for unblocking the shower waste pipe. I will now be sorely tempted to take my g string off the EUB for the cucumber plant in the conservatory! Can we change the thread name to '101 alternative uses for bass strings'?
