So many people take the inserts out whilst still in the shop that I've noticed some shops now have a bin strategically placed so that shoppers can do this! I'm sure most people (me included!) just chuck these inserts away without even looking at them; why advertisers bother with them is a...

Hi Richard Sorry, the 'fences' reference was a bit of an in-joke; we sometimes get sales reps from magazines phone us up trying to sell us advertising space, suggesting that it would be a good month to be featured as "we are doing an article on fencing and you sell timber treatments don't...

Hi Richard There's a bit of confusion here, caused by people who should have known better; some years ago the term 'stain' was suddenly adopted by the exterior coatings industry to mean a coloured microporous coating which gave a finish and coloured at the same time. Something which was used...

'Stains' such as Cuprinol etc are usually a finish in their own right (seem to think they used to be called 'microporous' when that was a buzzword in the external finishes industry!) and therefore I wouldn't have thought a varnish would be needed over the top of it, unless it is for purely...

...aaah... you mean that boss! Oops!

Not sure if this answer is too late to be helpful, but hopefully someone might find it to be so. Our (Chestnut Products' that is) Melamine Lacquer is a pre-catalysed lacquer, should you be having trouble getting hold of any. Be careful, not all Cellulose Sanding Sealers can be used with...

Am I missing something important here? Why does your boss think that wax or oil are difficult to look after? The latter should be able to be wiped down with a damp cloth if needed, and whilst you shouldn't do that with silicone-free waxes (as all good ones are) they still don't require a great...
