Thanks again, fellas.

Like the gripfill/wood trim idea, Wolf. I'll put it to her.

Hamilton, thanks for the brush advice. Do you know where I can get the Zinsser 1-2-3 primer you recommended? I've seen a website but it could take up to 5 days to turn up and I'm due to do the job on Sunday. And is Isopon P 80 freely available?

The zinsser should be available at any trade shop, I don't think you will find it in the sheds. If I cant get Zinsser I use one called 'Paint it' which is a Canadian paint.

The Ronseal Woodcare System uses a two pack filler, which is essentially the same thing but a lot dearer, trade shops generally carry a similar product. If you can't get it, pop in Halfords, it's the more or less the same as the car body filler.

Where abouts are you in this lovely country Jim?

(The Ronseal filler can be bought in any of the sheds.)

Thanks, Hamilton. I'm in East Sussex - just over the Kent border, near Tunbridge Wells.

Got hold of Cuprinol's equivalent of the Ronseal Wood Care system (2 step) - couldn't find the Ronseal one. Got me some Bullseye 123 too so I'm all set for the job tomorrow.  Cheesy

Thanks for your advice everyone - I'll let you know how I got on!

Finished this job last week.

Thanks to all your advice, it went pretty well.  Smiley

The only prob I had was when I strayed from your advice, Hamilton. After I had a couple of coats of bathroom paint on and dry I tried a pad for extra speed but it smeared all over the place so I returned to the brush.

Oh, and I'm never using B&Q paint again!  Angry
