Can`t say I have had to repaint any that I have topcoated with the Ultra but I do know what you mean about water based paints being harder to prep. I would say that if you were to scuff it well and do a coat of Otex primer that will give a good start, that stuff will stick to a plastic...

In my experience Zinsser paints are very good and I have used the all in one myself. I would say it is not quite as good as the Tikkurila but better than most. The Otex primer really is good, covers stains, really sticks well, denibs very well and dries very quick for an oil based product. I...

Tikkurila otex adhesion primer then valti ultra topcoat. Not sure how well it will spray with your system but it is what I use when renovating sash windows and brush it onsite. I have sprayed the Otex a couple of times and it goes on well but I have a Kremlin eos. I have used Morrells Omnia on...

Its called a cove shape individually but is more likely done on a spindle moulder with a fluting cutter which can do loads of coves at once.

That is actually amazing. I can scarcely believe it was deemed necessary to produce this article. Its like we are living in a permanent 1st of April. If we had the power to make a Hurricaine then surely we could prevent them in the first place. Of course we certainly can`t trust the BBC.

Good to know they are fine because I was thinking of ordering some from there myself, for an under stairs drawer project.

I would quite like to live in there, definitely nicer than my house and workshop combined.

Hi Mark I suggest if Holmans are selling it then it will be good stuff, they are just down the road from me, I am probably in there once a month. I always buy my Tikurilla primer from them and they will always find a product to solve any wierd paint situation I am having, they are very...

I have had similar experience with the drying times using morrells water bourne laquers though maybe not as long as you are experiencing. I could get 2 coats a day. The omnia joinery coatings actually dry quicker than the laquers. Tried Teknos stuff but it was very orange peely, fairly quick to...

Try old brown glue, its a version of animal glue that is liquid and only requires warming in hot water rather than a proper glue pot. I normally use titebond one for maple. To be honest that glue line is not actually bad at all really.

If you managed to give up the cigarettes the first time why have you decided to become addicted to something again ? Genuinely curious. As a former smoker, giving up before my first child was born was one of the hardest things I ever had to do and took several attempts so thinking about being...

The hot melt glue filler (polyamide i think it is) is good and ,may work for your purpose. I will say there are a couple of ussue to be aware of. Because it is a meltable product it will melt again once aplied, so if you are belt sanding over a patch you have to be pretty careful not to heat it...

Best way to remove artex is the blue jelly stuff (forget the name) paint it on wait an hour then it peels or scrapes off with no dust.

I looked it up not long ago and am not sure I am allowed to as I had a skin cancer which was removed, it did say that it depends what specific type and I need to ask them directly. My Dad went to give blood and though he has the rare type that they want because anyone can have it, he is unable...

What about a hot melt knot filling gun. I find it pretty handy and you can get many different colours of the sticks.

Just plaster it properly, these are more for drywall stuff with taped joints than a full skim with multi finish. Plastering is not that bad except ceilings which will kill your shoulder. Its a lot to do with getting it mixed to a proper consiscency.

Those Metabo die grinders are bloody excellent. Used one for many years in a previous job. A quick note that the dark green German Metabo found in Europe is not the same as the Metabo HPT which is called Hikoki here and Metabo HPT in America.

Thats in the ballpark, a little less but it all depends on the values of machinery and stock, as well as the buildings structure etc. The tools in van cover is actually very low. I cannot get separate cover for that at any reasonable rate at all and the conditions are mostly ridiculous like...

I suggest seal the lower sash by routing in a pile carrier channel 8mm by 3mm along the bottom and one accross the meeting rail. Then use parting bead and staff bead with built in pile carrier. If the parting bead extends over the head then there is no need to apply pile carrier to the top...

I do not know how sticky the spray mount is in comparison to superglue but the original poster was saying the sandpaper has a shiny plastic backing making it hard to stick. I suggested the masking tape method because I use it all the time on my cnc machine for fixing the material down and now...
