Shoddy Tools

I bought this large set square from Aldi a few months ago and had an inkling there was a problem with it when using it to cut some cloth into a square - they came our somewhat rhomboid. 


I decided to calibrate it against several known right angled corners in the house and discovered it is 2 degrees out.

Shoddy, shoddy, shoddy!

Last night I had a go at the Mk IV lampshade with the 80gsm, woven, fibreglass matting. Far too thin and it's almost transparent - I need something like 300gsm. I tried placing another layer of fibreglass on top and using the heat gun to fix it in, but it was too late in the curing process and it wouldn't stick.
