Ive been looking at ways of applying osmo oil to my new oak veneered doors and it seems the best way is to apply with a white non abrasive scotch brite type pad (i hear they are used in the automotive industry a lot). Ive found 3m ones and various others online but cannot find a decent supplier...

Thanks cjard for the great advice, another question regarding that if you dont mind. I did wonder what the deal is with height after digging down and when i read up i got the impression that it was measured from the immediate surrounding area. So for example if i was to do a 3m height overall...

Sorry in advance if this is a long and confusing thread. So we have recently bought our first home and are looking at building a garage around 4.25m wide by 7m long which would end up just under 30m square. Im just looking for some advice or info people could give that may help as im not...

awesome thanks guys, i take it it would be a good idea to do this on all dot and dabbed masonry walls as they will be taking quite a weight with tiles etc?

Hi, im in the process of doing out or bathroom, we have 2 stud walls and 2 masonry walls, i will be using moisture resistant plasterboard and hardybacker in the shower area. I have read up about the hardiebacker and they say not to dot and dab it, but to use mechanical fixings and gap...

I called the company who makes the tray today and they said an adhesive like no more nails would be suitable, as long as its something that doesnt have silicone in as this will let it flex. They said to run 6mm beads at 25mm spacing, surely thats gonna use a lot of tubes with a 1700mm wide tray...

it is just a totally flat surface on the underside and the floor is pretty flat too, do you recommend covering the whole area or just the outline and a few lines in the middle with a thick bead?

thanks, i was hoping for something a little cheaper but if it has to be then thats what il have to get, as i said its a large area to cover so will be looking at 5 to 10 tubes of that stuff id imagine? surely theres something else that will be more cost effective? tile adhesive or sand and...

Hi guys, hope this is in the right section, im in the middle of fitting out our bathroom, i have bought one of these shower trays: http://www.mx-group.com/products/shower-trays/all-shower-trays/1700x900-ducostone-flat-top-xul/ In the fitting instructions it says 'contact your local diy...

Thanks for the replies! Yeah I suppose i could ask around the local garages with spray boothes. I have the space to do it it's just more the inconvenience and cost to spray it all, I imagened someone who is set up to do it locally would probably work out cheaper than me buying primer and...

Hi guys, im about to start making my own skirting and architrave (18mm moisture resistant MDF) to re do the whole house, there will be around 100-150 metres in total (mix of 200mm skirting and 70mm architrave). I have equipment to spray myself although id rather not do all of that if i can...

thanks for the pics, the studwork is just what is already there forming the internal walls of the room, there are 2 stud walls and 2 brick external walls, i need the walls to be nice and plumb to tile onto so i am going to dot and dab plasterboard to them and tile ontop of that
