    Bathroom refit - but whats this ???

    It feels rigid, but it moves very slightly when poked. It feels like metal, with a slight bit of corrossion on the bend - this could be from condensation buildup maybe? Scratching it with my nail I'm 90% sure its metal and not plastic, but cant be certain. There is also a BT socket in the room...

    Mitre saw blades

    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately my saw is 210mmx30mm and it looks like the Bosch laminate blades dont come in 210mm size. My saw is the Titan 210mm SF210JSL friom screwfix.

    Mitre saw blades

    Thanks. At £20 for a blade, it's Pretty much throw away anyway. I'm doing the stairs, the edges of treads and risers will not be covered.

    Mitre saw blades

    Am I right in thinking that the more blades, the finer,cleaner and smoother the cut? I will befitting some laminate where the edges will be visible, and want a good cut without having to use a hand saw. Any comments on the Bosch optiwm210 blades? These are extra thin, with 80 teeth.

    'spot sanding' gloss

    Having waited since Monday morning, I had a go at sanding the drips last night using P400 wet and dry. It seems to have done an OK job, but rather than turning to dust, the gloss seemed to 'peel' into chunks that then fell off. Is this normal, due to the wet/dry being wet, or did I not leave it...

    'spot sanding' gloss

    Literally dipping the paper in water before using it ? By a 'few days', I assume you mean 3 ? I'd love to be able to do this tomorrow - but it sounds like that will be too soon (having top coated yesterday morning)

    'spot sanding' gloss

    I have sanded, undercoated (one coat) and top coated (gloss) two bedroom panel doors. I have used Dulux Trade brilliant white for both. This is my first attempt at using 'proper' gloss - in the past using non drip, once etc. I thought it was about time I learned to paint properly ! The top...
