It's great to hear of such consistently great service; I know there are other companies out there who also have good service, it's just a shame that so many don't. A year or so ago I posted about an event some of the Axminster team were taking part in, a sponsored cycle ride. They've just...

Wow, impressive! Thanks guys, good to know I didn't imagine them... they're the sort of thing, I shall investigate them further. Thanks again.

I'm sorry, that's the best subject heading I could give; I don't know what they're called so I can't search for them... I'll explain... We're trying to redecorate our bedroom; to give more storage space (which could be dangerous as Mandy will probably proceed to fill it with more clothes!)...

I'd agree that a landline number is important - I'd be reluctant to deal with someone who doesn't have one in a business set-up. Personally, I'd avoid 0845 numbers; many people have call-inclusive packages these days which offer free calls to landline numbers; many still exclude 0845 numbers...

...because it's hard enough getting shops to take our full range as it is - our Ebonising Lacquer is a satin finish and I can imagine our stockists saying, understandably, that there is very little difference between them so why double-stock. What do others think? Is there a need for a Matt...

Not really, no. Sorry. You just might get away with it but I really wouldn't recommend it. You need a Cellulose Sanding Sealer with melamine to get the best results.

Hi Paul A nice looking piece, good work! May I offer the following as information for others rather than a comment on your work? This piece works very well and the contrast in colours is very striking. If you're looking for a more gradual colour change then a less dramatic 'colour step' (such...

The Acrylic Gloss Lacquer is a very bright finish and I feel it would be overpowering on a large area. I reckon small items can look good with a bright gloss finish, larger things can look a bit plasticky. For a more subtle finish with the same protection the Acrylic Satin Lacquer would do the job.

Hmm, tips over and above what's on the can... Much of it will come with a little practise.. Spraying distance is important, too far and the droplets will dry before they hit the surface, causing a rough finish. Too close and it'll sag. If in doubt I suggest some light mist coats sprayed fairly...

Hi All I've been watching this with interest, I must admit I was worrying about the first post, waiting for a 'however' and I was delighted there wasn't one! I'm always pleased to hear about happy customers, much as we think we're getting it right it's always nice have it confirmed. Paul...

I've been away for a few days... we gave serious consideration to calling this MC Wax but didn't for exactly the reasons given above! With the lid on, the wax should last for ages, although we don't guarantee anything more than 12 months, otherwise it gets daft... I had a guy one time moaning...

Microcrystalline Wax has a higher melting point than 'standard' waxes and hence is far more fingermark repellent. I just wish it didn't take so long to type its name!

Well, having seen the young female terminator in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, all I can say is bring it on!

I'll be there as well of course and hope to see many of you there too. The show has a lot more stands that last year and should be a good one. Although it's all indoors and under cover if the weather is good it'll be even better as it makes the whole atmosphere so much nicer. Don't forget...

Hi Phil You might also want to consider our Red Spirit Stain which should be close to the colour you're looking for and can also be used to tint our Cellulose Sanding Sealer and Melamine Lacquer. You might also be interested in http://www.nocturne-guitars.co.uk which shows some guitars...

Hi Miles I wouldn't wait longer than 2-3 minutes to take off the excess oil. The marks you describe sound likely to have been caused by oil oil being too dry when you wiped it over. Glad you're liking it!

Late reply, sorry. We don't recommend the Hard Wax Oil for exterior use; it should be okay in sheltered areas but not exposed to full-on weathering. The oil should be kept in a cool, dry place, as should most of our products. The acrylics finishes should be protected from frost and it's...

Title says it all... he'll know what I'm on about.

You and me both. I've resisted ranting too much but it's a wonder some companies stay in business! They won't have mine for much longer.

Mark Baker reports that he has used the oil in this way and has been happy with the results and hopefully you will be as well. I wouldn't expect this method to give a full gloss though as the oil will be contaminated (in the way you want) which will interfere with the sheen. Subsequent coats...
