Try a aluminium wood primer, it's grey in colour, should do the trick, might require two coats.

Thanks for this good information Mattysupra - cheers.

Reading this thread and I was interested to find out more about what Mattysupra wrote on Cloud 9 Cumulus: “Also a bit to soft, resulting in extra wear of carpet.” Does carpet wear out more on a soft underlay rather than a firmer one, if so why; is it down to pressure, friction or something...

I’ve always used either the Sikkens or Sadolin ranges (same manufacturer). You pay a lot more for the products but it lasts a lot longer than the cheaper ranges. I would suggest that you use an opaque woodstain - Cetol BL Opaque, which is available in the Sikkens range in traditional wood colour...

Hi, try any Build Centre or Jewsons or the internet for Actis Insulation Tri-Iso Super 10. This is the company that makes it: http://uk.actisisolation.com/ Some resellers online: www.enigma-insulations.co.uk http://www.tri-isosuper10.co.uk/ All the above websites have good...

Thanks for your input gcol!

Hi, can anyone recommend a good make of greenhouses? We are looking for a small 6 x 4 maybe slightly bigger. Has anyone purchased one online for a good price? Any help appreciated.

Softus perhaps you’re bias as “you need their businesses to survive”? Everyone knows underlay is a total rip off at independent and plc retailers – this is why underlay is marketed with so many different names so the customer can’t easily compare an underlay from one retailer to another. Most...

At the end of the day “diyisfree” has done his market research via the Internet, local suppliers and this forum. He’s found a product that suits his needs at the right price. We all want the bottom price when buying goods. Good for him. I’ve used Cloud 9 Cumulus in our house sourced via the...

Thanks TicklyT that would have been a good idea, especially if the coach screw head were large enough to balance the bench over the four legs. However, I managed to source (this weekend) the product I was after. They look like bottle tops, which hammer into the legs. Inch diameter. Thinking...

Dear All, Not sure of the correct name, does anyone know where I can buy four metal plates that would fix to a garden bench to protect the legs from dampness and water? The size of the metal plate would be no more than 30mm square, flat on one side and fixings on the other. This would...

Hello, brought mine from Mole Valley Farmers based in the South West. Try: http://www.gardenhealth.com/ For Westland products in your area.

The sand carries the iron sulphate, making it easier to evenly spread. Bought a large bag of Lawn sand for £4.50 covers 185sq metres.

Thanks Scrit - most helpful indeed.

Hello, What grade of steel wool should I be using on an oak table? The surface is smooth, however, I need to oil the table this might need sanding down a little once the oil has been applied. So many different grades! Any advice welcomed - thank you.

Had no joy in finding details on the make "Hippo" for my SDS Drill. Having taken it apart the ball bearings with springs are missing which locks the drill bit inside! No idea what size of ball bearing and springs to get! Are these universal parts? Any ideas welcome - thank you.

We also have the same problem, the idea about false doors is excellent! Any more ideas out there?

I think I try Liberon - seems to be a good product from looking on the web. Tung oil wouldn't be suitable because of the drying times. Cheers for the advice on this one.

I've heard of Westland - Just need to source some now - cheers! Seneca, you read my mind! I've done a bit of research on the web for Lawn Sand, it seems to be the only product to reduce moss before using products like Evergreen all-purpose. I guess you can buy it online but the postage cost...

Hi, can anyone recommend a make of Lawn Sand to kill the moss on our lawns please?
