Oh right, I'd never considered that! I guess if you use oil based primer and water based top coat you avoid the 'yellow' issue you get with oil based top coats? That's one reason we've been using water based satinwood thus far.
Managed, eventually, to get all the hinges and catches off. A horrible combo of painted/varnished on hinges with those really soft flat head brass screws - too much pressure and you mess the head up, not enough and you can't cut through the paint! They're currently sitting in a vinegar and boiling water ice cream tub - the paint seems to just fall off with a finger rub!
