Oh dear. I am feeling stressed by attempting to get these 6 doors painted, ready for the carpenter to start hanging on 2nd Jan. Just removing the sticky labels and sanding (see previous posts) has eaten up a lot of my time.
I used to be able to get a really good finish with olde style gloss, on a hanging door, skirting door etc. But I've never used Bedec WB undercoat and Satin finish topcoat before, so no idea how much difference there is between painting with the door flat, or vertical.
If I could paint them vertical - either side by side in the dining room where I can only lie one down at a time, or after they're hung, it would take the pressure off me whilst I'm also trying to have a social life, celebrate NY etc etc.
The doors have a rebated detail, so not completely flat. https://www.howdens.com/doors/inter...d-internal-linear-door-obj-sku-family-dir1560
I suppose I could try one upright and go from there.
Thanks again, kind folks!
