    best paint for going over internal gloss

    on that note.. the foil wrapped stuff. good idea (bad idea) at the time as I was managing my extension and doing what work I could myself so it was a time saving exercise. Now I want to have the joins touched up as I did them and chamfered (please don't hate me) so on the external corners they...

    best paint for going over internal gloss

    and the age old debate still continues.. I will not be applying it and I honestly do not care about a perfect finish.

    increase heat output of "designer" vertical radiators

    I'm really thinking plinth is the only solid option.. they can be had for less than £200. those napkin things are cute I'll give you that but they likely won't do it and I'll be £50 out of pocket. thanks for the upside down thinking though.
