Ended up with water based dulux gloss as that's all they did in the mixlab. So I'm going to need a pretty fine / soft brush to avoid brush marks. Roller wise I was looking at a Wooster Jumbo-Koter Big Green Flocked Foam Mini Roller, and still like the look of theProform Picasso Oval Angled...

OK, but was looking for a decent brush anyway and just wondered what all these types are for?

Hi I was looking to paint a primed flat piece of mdf using a wooster foam roller and then lay off with a profor picasso. My issue is I see many different brush types and no idea what I need. There are angled sash, angled oval, straight cut etc etc.. So it's just a say .5m square...

Hi im in the process of building an extension and have a question regarding fire doors. Is the standard width 762mm for a fire door and if so what should the structural opening size be 840mm? What im trying to work out is what I need to buy frame and door wise any links would be...

This is the type of stairs I wanted with landing in front of front door to the side. Are you saying I need 400mm between bottom step and door swing then

In that first diagram the bottom square is that the bottom steps that corner round or a landing space?

So I would need to start the stairs 400mm further forward or widen the hall by 400 to accommodate the quarter landing. On the regs page it shows a door directly in front of the stairs and not to the side as I planned. I assume it's 400mm gap between the swing of the door and bottom step so in...

Im edging towards zinsser 123 in grey as primer and little green jack black oil based eggshell at the moment

Bulls eye 123 seems to be WB leaving me to find a oil based black and a pretty flat one too. Im not a big fan of oil paints find them harder to work with and they stink. It seems that saving money on the primer by going WB just means spending more on the oil based top coat. Any suggestions...
