You shouldn't get a shiny finish with Danish oil or any oil. It would mean you haven't sanded it down which means it's sticky and won't work anyway. Good luck with it. (I've been told from various professional sources that Danish oil is superior but totally up to you) :)

Sorry, meant to add the Danish Oil I got was from Toolstation, I think. I've added an image to profile...still working on adding it to the post :?

Hi Sarah We recently installed our kitchen with oak worktops, and the best thing to do is get some good quality Danish oil. Get a 2.5litre tin - I know it seems a lot - as you'll use it. The main thing is to make sure that the worktops are oiled properly before fitting to prevent...

We used travertine tiles on our wet room wall, and welsh grey slate (recycled) roof tiles on the floor. The stone tiles look great - just make sure you've got the right coloured grout and adhesive as I've seen people pick up all sorts to go with light coloured tiles - it seeps through the back...

If you just want to paint the walls, give them a quick sand and then use high grade lining paper. You'll get a nice finish on the walls then and wno't have to worry about flaking. It's not expensive to put lining paper up and if you use thicker stuff (around £4 a roll for the 1400 guage stuff)...

Have to also add a good dose of bitter dark chocolate to it, a good squeeze of lime juice (fresh) and more garlic than you can shake a stick at. Mmm. Chilli. Might have to make some this week :D

:lol: Interesting use of a running stitch, though :wink: We found many, many MANY electrical "ideas" when we took our house apart recently and got it ready for rewiring...best one were the live cables running down the walls and just "ending" in random parts of the house...not good when you're...

Eddie, you sound understandably gutted :cry: I know it must be killing you and I (hope the MODS don't boot me off for this) know that a site (wikivorce) is very very helpful for some people - it has a chat, forum and a legal advice service, all free, for people in just your situation. I don't...

We've used an angle grinder on our tiles and had no problems at all cutting them - even where they've had to be quite thin around the sides to accomodate the plug sockets for the kitchen (tiles only marginally larger than the socket box) Mind, the non-diydoughnut's a bit handy...

I checked the other day and they definitely DO have your style doors - don't know how many they have left, though. There isn't a phone number that I can see but the details are on the Trade bargains site I posted earlier.

Apparently that was on Crime Watch last year so quite possibly not a hoax? Just a thought...

Have passed this on. Cheeky f....rs! :shock:

Try some PVA Uni-bond as well as the plaster? Uni-bond first then plaster when it's tacky/dry? (Just a thought...like I said, I'm no expert!)
