Just put the wax straight on. We experimented a bit over the weekend and waxed a couple of strips of pine, let it dry then varnished over the top, and tbh it bonded quite well with just a light rub with wire wool, so should be ok.

We've applied 3 coats, but it's the ronseal brushing wax, don't know if that makes any difference.

Thanks for that, we are just debating wether to live with it - could be worse I suppose. We already have to oil our worktops every so often.

Being an idiot and not reading the tub properly I have applied a coloured wax to the fireplace and doors in our living room. A small water spill has shown how easy it is to mark. Is it possible to put anything on top of the wax to protect it? Help please as I really don't want to have to...

Just an addition, check the legs to see if they are all making good contact with the floor as if they aren't then no matter what sort of seal frame you have you will get movement.

That's the problem in a nutshell, taps are rated 0.5 bar, but I only have 0.3 bar pressure. Looks like I may have to live with it until we change to a combi.

I am doing the same job at the moment, and have done another bath in my previous house. I built a timber frame on the open side which the bath rests on in turn the side panel screws onto this. The side facing the wall is just sealed with silicone sealant, I get no movement whatsoever from...

Just read this post: I have seen check (non return) valves in monoblock taps - little plastic things which you should ditch immediately. They sit in the tap just inside where the flexies/pipes screw in. They're a cone against a seat, held by a spring, which almost stop all flow! Seen flow...

Hi, I have fitted a new bathroom, and have just fitted the new bath/shower mixer and the flow is terrible. The taps I have are rated for 0.5 bar pressure. I am running off a traditional gravity system. The shower has a pump which (when connected) should provide ample pressure but the bath...
