I was told if you use a 1500+ grit in a ROS, It melts the glue in the mdf edge with the surface heat and almost polishes it without sanding.... however only use this technique with a/c paints as waterbased will not stick to the glue.... they need a mechanical adhesion.

Ive seen metal stordage drums corroded from the inside before. They were 45 gallon oil drums on a farm, where the farmer had stored all the waste oil from all the equipment etc. After many years there were lots of these drums, and now waste oil is actually worth a few pence a litre he decided...

Waterbased is more expensive too. Ac colour/clear will work out cheaper.

Id start with a devilbiss flg with either a 1.6 or a 1.8mm tip gravity fed. If your using acid products ive been told to go for a blue cup, as they turn the whiteones brittle over time. Just had a advance hd on demo and its quite a step up from the flg again. But alot more money.. Really you...

really like that. Its beautifully done.

The top may be running back and capillary'ing onto the top sash, sand the back edg of the head rebate off, so it bevels to the outside on the underside, so it drips off before the sash. should stop it.

Put some sealant in the groove at the bottom last 2 inches (where the weather will be) and squeeze the strip into it. that will seal it enough. Something like THE WORKS sealant, or any ms polymer. water shouldnt get to it anywhere other than the lower sections.

I think i persuaded you onto Tricoya before :P/ accoya should be about £2000 per cubic metre. That applies to tricoya too, including VAT. So working it back, http://www.bsw.co.uk/tools/calculator.html £107.16 Per sheet, Its cheap when youve used it and can admire how good it is every day!

Just tape a piece of wood to a tooth on the existing blade and see it it touches... Or how far you can stick it out before it does.... Will tell you the maximum.

WHoaaa. Id be afraid to wear them. Id get sealant on them the first day Guaranteed!

Thanks Guys, Great response, and worthwhile as ive ordered some i wouldnt have if i didnt ask! Love that. Ive gone for a pair of the Carhartt's double front Ones Nathan suggested, as i dont like lost of pockets sticking out. They tend to catch the machines as you walk past, especially the...

Does anyone on here have any preference when it comes to workwear, ie.... Id never buy anything other than .....etc. Ive tried a few different types and not overly impressed with any, and im needing some more soon. Might push the budget and try the snickers ones, or caterpillar...

Id just use the mwk kit, ditch the cill piece and cut the weather bar section off the door part and just use the piece underneath the door, so it wipes against the cill.

Pop a picture up of the architrave, im sure someone will have made something similar! If its a 'big' cut and quite elaborate, a set of cutters for my 100mm profile block is around £100 iirc. Then obviously cost to Par and mould. Ususally charge 1.50p/m for PAR and a single moulding pass.30p...

The water based products are maximum 60% gloss and its quite hard to get a wet smooth looking finish at that without the proper equipment, aaa and a booth, correct application temps and drying times. really it needs to be sprayed onto warm joinery, in a cool room then left for 10 minutes, beofre...

Maybe felder or a machinery dealership either new/used, but youd be better buying one used and selling it later at pretty much zero cost.

Sovereign silacry is an exterior overpaintable caulk but takes ages to dry. The ultimate is a joint sealer from sikens/teknos etc called v groove sealer. Local decorating centre 'may' have this if they sell sikkens products! Its on another level for sealing and painting over.

Open in is so you dont smash the doors into your guests faces when you greet them. :D I like open in, can have the door open when its raining etc still without getting completely soaked all over....obviously depending on the rain direction. Just have to be careful if its your only door nothing...
