Thanks for your good advice 'JobAndKnock'.....much appreciated!

Hi There, I've just made a stand out of finished wood and decided to varnish it. Using a tin of Antique pin that I had already ...and thinking that I'd Done the right thing by testing the varnish on some off-cuts. I Thought it was ok but alas it was not! It seemingly was 'Off' ...I ended up...

Yes Bourbon, the old glue is completely removed. The bits are very clean and dry. Thanks for getting in touch.

Sounds possible and I will weigh up if this is possible. Just a bit worried about tapping the pins in to other bits surrounding the affected areas in case I knock those off too. Again, Many Thanks for your help and I appreciate you taking the time to help out.

mmmmm? A device for tightening a rope or cable by twisting it using a stick as a lever!.......I'll have to have a look into that too! -Many Thanks again.

Thanks very much for all your replies. I left it for a couple of weeks and then went away for hols. On returning, I did have to brush the surface again to get rid of sand, but there became less to sweep away and then eventually gave it a couple of applications of PVA which done the trick. A...

Hi There, Hope you can help. I've had a top layer of concrete laid four days ago and it seems good except that it has a gritty texture to the surface when walking on it and when it's lightly rubbed, it produces a slight sandy feel and granular. My wife is wanting to get covering onto it as soon...
