Hello, I have some unfinished white oak, I would like to stain this a really dark ebony. this is for a landing and up the stairs. the reason I want this really dark is because I do not want it anything like the light colour I will have downstairs, and to look like I have tried to sort or...

well I am no pro, but 3 year old paint and new paint. it wont match. give it all a little nib off and do the whole thing I would say. Darren

Toupret, I fist used this the other day..... very good stuff, I used the 3 hour one. you can use it on any depth, mix it up thick.... its strong as well. I notice a lot of people comment who have not used it, and say other are better. you have to try to know. It must be one of the best...

Found it good, never used the water based one though... this is the one I have used, http://www.trade1st.co.uk/productdetail/Zinsser/100.aspx its a good primer and stick to almost anything... my foam rollers always fall to bits though! I like it.... not cheap though. I have also like...

Toupret... mmm it look like decent stuff they have a good range, and a fair few rate it. Darren

I have been using some Polyfill. the trade multi you have to mix http://www.screwfix.com/prods/75795/Sealants-Adhesives/Fillers/Multi-purpose-Fillers/Polycell-Polyfilla-All-Purpose-Filler-2kg The packet is not that new, but is dry. I have mixed it 2 ways, the first time I left it quite...

Interesting Matty, you are saying that a neoprime primer will stick.... whats the shot blast deal, do you hire or get someone to do this. Darren

I would love to see a picture of some of the peoples bitumen floor, as a lot of it is very slight residue, I have been told that as long as there is just a small amount of this, then gluing the floor would be ok, but the adhesive will take a little long to dry. true? Darren

Thank you for the info, ill be in touch. It must be quite common now for people not wanting to use carpet on the stairs. Darren

Thank you, I have also seen this, the bottom 2 the duo and the frontier http://www.styleflooring.co.uk/front1.htm type on nosing that can be used with normal flooring on the treads.. have you ever seen or used this? I don't have a clue how much it costs, says it comes in 3m lengths...

Overlay boards! Thank you for this, if I was to nail them in place and fill.... would the nail marks where I have filled it still show? I would somehow have to stain over them? sounds good.... can I get this stuff and most places? timber yards or just flooring places? what sort of...

Thank you, I would love to not use carpet at all, so don't know really what to do.... Like I said, I really just want to do all the stair treads and have the risers white.... I don't know really what to do. I would have thought there would have been a lot of people who had wood at the top...

hello guys/girls Flooring downstairs will be wood, a light oak colour, and the same at the top of the landing... I really don't want to put carpet just on the stairs. and I cant spend loads of money I don't have. so there are the stairs and a raised plinth at the bottom about 1m...

yes John like in my first post its Dulux trade Diamond hard..... its not lets start again..its not soft and does not peel, its just marks a little easy, not many people use black, and I want a matt or a soft satinish at most but not gloss. I tried the polyvine to give it a little more...

Thank you, I don't think I have explained it right, sorry. the paint is sticking like glue! it does not chip off or anything.. Its just it marks very easy, as its black. I was thinking the oil based would be tougher, and not mark as easy. Darren

hello, you say go for eggshell... i did water based though! you are saying oil based? I am glad you replied Z, One of the doors is MDF and the other is wood. the mdf was sealed with a water based primer/sealer. them painted with the quick drying water based eggshell. would you say...

Hello, I have been painting 2 large wardrobe doors and 1 cupboard door and the colour needed to be black. I did not want a really glossy look, as you have to be so careful with black. A mild sheen would have been fine, anyway back to it! well the paint I have used is Crap... it goes...

yes I don't want it to go off unless in bath or shower, so without masking (if you can) a normal one wont work....no don't want a pull switch..... I have a bathroom mirror with a hand sensor on the side, move your hand across fast and the light turns on... wonder if I could get something like...

Tipex..... mmmmm white paint, I have seen the pet covers on the normal wall mount PIR, but nothing on a 360 degree one, this http://www.screwfix.com/prods/80538/Lighting/Floodlights/PIRs-Photocells/IQ-Ceiling-360-PIR-Movement-Sensor is an ip44 unit I have not seen a cover for these though...
