I have a Fine Woodworking book and they use Spackle for filling MDF ends or routed sections. I have not heard of Spackle here in the UK and wondered what other forumites use. Thanks

I took delivery of a used Earlex HV5000 last year and put it in the loft. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I need to put it to use so I took the plunge and ordered some Morrells paint and clear lacquer for a piece of furniture in the house that I decided to refurbish. All I can say is...

I was looking at this in screwfix and though a pack of 10 sheets for nearly £10 was really expensive. Have subsequently discovered that you can purchase them much cheaper. What can I expect to pay for the block and sanding sheets ?

Is it possible to polish water based lacquer like you can with pre cat ? If so, can anyone recommend a good store for polishing sundries ? Thanks

Hi, I am in the process of finishing a draw unit. The carcass has been sprayed with Morrells water based lacquer and I was thinking of finishing the drawers with clear lacquer. As I don't have a proper extraction setup, I wear a decent respirator with proper organic cartridge filters on. It...

I am spraying Morrells white primer 8005/641 (Waterbourne) and Morrells 362 "Severe Use" Waterbourne Lacquer gloss white (8901/362) and I just wondered what needle size I should use. I have been using the 2mm standard needle with my Earlex spraystation and it seems ok, but a little splattery...

You have raised a valid point. If I clean the screen that means I will be able to see my Wife in the shower. I think I will leave it dirty. Thanks

Certainly does help and thanks. Just one quick one, what is PU ? I am using morrell's water based primer. I suppose I better get cracking rather than sitting on the computer drinking coffee! Thanks

Anyone have any tips on the best way to clean a very heavily lime scaled shower screen (the Wife has not been pulling her weight recently!). I have tried Cillit (I don't work) Bang and other lime scale removers. Some do clear it slightly, but not fully. A chap told me to use car rubbing...

Hi, I am about to start spray priming a piece of furniture with Morrell's water based primer and wondered how other sprayers deal with cleaning the gun between coats ? I believe that you need to leave 1 hour between coats and as the piece is not that large I am not sure it will take one hour...

Thanks. I will give that a try

Thanks Tom. I will give them a call

Thanks. That then raises another question "Anyone in North Dorset, Nr Blandford fancy ordering me some Morrells if I pay up front ?"

Hi, I called Morrells at their Exeter branch today in an attempt to obtain pricing for 5L of primer and 5L of waterborne lacquer. After what seemed like an interogation, I asked the chap if he could provide the prices as I was keen to get the stuff ordered. He never did get around to...

Hi John, Thanks for the insight into repairing sash windows for a living. That is a slight concern of mine is that after a while it could become pretty repetitive after a while. But I suppose what job doesn't. Thanks for the tip about the mouse. I wasn't actually aware of that. Kind...

It is appalling that this is still happening now. Like you say, unless you basically say to your GP "send me for a scan or I am not leaving this building", they will try and send you away with some meds. No wonder we have such poor cancer rates compared with other countries

Hi, I posted some time ago, about spraying a piece of furniture and was told that I should use morells. As I don't need a lot of paint and I only have a single piece I don't want to spend out the money and was hoping I could use the water based eggshell that I had to buy for the house. I have...

Hi, I finished my kitchen worktops with a water based varnish and I also finished my daughters book case with a water based laquer. The trouble with both of the surfaces is that if I leave a plastic bread bag on the kitchen surfaces for a few days in warm weather, I find the print of the bag...

I wanted to post this as it is close to my heart and there must be so many others who have sufferedf from this. In 2002 my Father who had been a smoker went to the doctor about being very breathless. In the end they sent my Dad for a scan and although there was a shadow on his lung they sent...

There is a statement in the T&C stating exactly that. My gripe is that although they mentioned that, they should have never offered the product as it was not tax efficient for a 40% employee to take out. How stupid was I to have thought my employer would only sell me a product that was beneficial!
