That's such a great tip. I saw it on pinterest this morning and saved it For a few minutes work it should make hole tapping much more straightforward Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Final coat just applied. All the same consistent colour. It really is a lovely paint to apply ! Fingers crossed it'll dry the same. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I wonder whether a lick of may also help prolong the finish. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks Jacob. I need to see that I'm making a tiny bit of progress with the paint colour before drilling a hole in a brush ! Ha. I will not be beaten, I will not give up. I've still got the different brand to try, still got various colours. I need some samples of timber to try various ways of...

This is all back. The only thing left to try is to skip the first coat with the added zinc, perhaps that's causing the issue. The softwood was peppered with knots so I treated them with knotting solution, I don't think that could be the problem as they mention using it for glass rebates...

No worries. I really thought it would have been better this time. I will persevere lol Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Needed to replace a rotten porch post so decided to softwood with linseed paint. No solvents this time so I was quietly confident. This is how it's looking after the second coat. That's really not good enough !! Paint brush hung in linseed oil between coats. Perhaps it's just this colour...

I'd give em 3 quid for a catalogue. I could check the website for prices. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

A couple g clamps and a straight edge seem to cover everything I'd ever need a tracksaw for. Have you already got the cordless makita skillsaw ? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

You're almost there. You can fit a 12.7mm(half inch) mortice and tenon. Your groove in the stile only needs to be 6-7mm deep,probably the same depth as your t & g boarding. You don't need to worry about filling the small square, unless you really want to. If any water did get in, it should run...

Is it gonna be painted or stained ? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Probably not. You'll have nice sturdy boards with a decent 27mm to nail to. Are you gonna face nail or pellet through the rails...or through the boards? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Happy to help. You could face nail through the boards into the rails with gavanise lost heads. If you angle the nails a bit- It would be even more tricky to pull out. You could pepper the wood with screw & pellets if you'd rather- that's up to you. I prefer nailing...I think lol Sent from my...

Is yours gonna have boards both sides ? That would have been a 57mm thick stile. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
