    Another tip is that when you've messed up and have a rough surface or an obvious flaw then you can use pullover to smooth it out. You put a mix of lacquer, thinners and meths in a jar, and use a rag or a rubber to flatten the surface. Just pull the wet rag across the surface. Adjust speed and wetness to get the surface melted and able to be pushed/pulled around. I think its generally better then sanding as less damage is done.

    Good for grain filling too.

    This has got to be the best thread in ages and I only had to ask the questions.
    Michael Parkinson watch out, here I come.

    Seeing today is a little bit cooler I am going to spray terps onto the spider webs all around the garage door.
    That way I can get used to what all the knobs do and work out what knobs affect (or is it effect) what.

    Thanks all for the fantastic advice given so freely.

    Use white vinegar instead, the cheap cleaning stuff, not so dangerous.
