Thanks, noted.

Hi, Thank you for your comprehensive reply, I have read it a couple of times and noted all you have said. I think I will do the following: - PVA the bare plaster and painted walls. EasiFill the bare plaster (which is rough in just a few places) and painted walls, a skim coat everywhere (I...

Hi, I have a room, 1 wall back to bare plaster (but not smooth) and 3 walls sanded mainly back to solid paint and solid paint / plaster...all walls not smooth. I intend to skim a thin coat of EasiFill on all walls. British Gypsum say not to pva the bare plaster walls and could not comment on...

Okay, thanks for clarifying and all if your advice/help.

Aah, okay. So the oil will effectively cover the white filler and caulk or whatever (with various coats to cover) ....with the stain then sealing that in? I am not at all sure I'd be able to get the pens in to the crevices and angles were spindles meet baserail and top rail.

Thanks to everyone, a lot to think about. Opps, when you say "oil based stain to colour the white filler, then apply a coloured oil such as Sadolins"....aren't an oil based stain and a coloured oil the same thing? I mean as an example Sadolin Classic Wood Protection is solvent based...and is...

Interesting, thank you very much.

Seen similar issues here but nothing conclusively. My problem is that I am trying to split an existing 2 pronged wall mounted shaver socket in to two. This so to accommodate permanent things plugged in, namely a rechargeable toothbrush and shaver. Does such a thing exist? I ask as some have...

That's good to know, thanks again.

Ps. Does Evo Stick Red dry clear?

Again, great advice. Thank you.

Brilliant, thank you. Got most of that already ready...I didn't even think about contact glue. Any preferences as to make? Of course I will only need a small amount. Thanks again.

I have to put some 18mm edging on the face edge of a kitchen cabinet/carcass. This edging isn't self adhesive or iron on. The old edge will remain, so this go on top of the existing. Does anyone have any ideas how to get this properly stuck on? Thanks John

Thanks.

I assume you mean 2 coats of finish but only one of bonding?
