Really nice Chief, what part of Englnd are your parents from?.

I think the point Alan was making was, 'even' Amazon with all its failings could do a better job.

Thanks for mentioning Fujitsu Yvan, agreed they are indeed equally coupable. Especially a Mr Gareth Jenkins.

Is this Angela Van Den Bogerd?.

I would be applying something a little more substantial than OSMO HWO to be honest, especially in a kitchen.

Check under the cabinet door, has it been edge banded or left bare?.

Agreed, I only DL from private trackers.

Hundreds of people have been falsely convicted, made bankrupt, imprisoned and not least of all, people have committed suicide.

So were talking perjury, perverting the course of justice &...

Yeah I hear ya, few options, turn off all known tracking/advertising options or install a modified OS, theres plenty to choose from. I highly recommend installing Seek & destroy though. I have no...

Ok Guys I have some very noteworthy information on Feast Watson. I had a phone call today from the technical department in regard to applying Shellac (in all its forms) over their oil based...

Hmmm... this has got me wondering if I may not have allowed the polyurethane long enough to cure before applying shellac over it as the Wattyl 7008 two pack is also a polyurethane... Did you get any...

I was thinking more along the lines of using the Acrylic as seal coat, to seal alcohol based dye stain.

Here's someone I imagine knows what he's doing:

I'll give it a go. So far the worst finish to polish over has got to be Poly, it starts cracking the shellac within a few days due to the poly still gassing off. Acrylic on the other hand I'm unsure...

Quick question: can you apply shellac over an Acrylic clear coat?.

Yep, if it had layers and they didn't melt into one another we would be having a hell of a time avoiding witness lines!.

On that note, anyone have any good tips on avoiding them or even getting...

Oh thats it then I'm raiding the pantry for old plastic bottles now, great idea!.

Bloody hell Rob, you must have biceps like a buffalo!. Better than any spray lacquer finish!.

Hi Rob, Is the goal of bodying up to have a completely smooth surface without grain of any sort showing?. Are there any circumstances where you would want to show some texture?.

I use a little Paraffin oil when French Polishing. Don't know if that's the correct stuff to use but it seems to stop the fad from sticking anyway.

Its all on Youtube Mic, right from when it began two years ago.

I watched the P.O. Inquiry this week, Angela van den Bogerd who was feature in the ITV series as one of Paula Vennells henchmen was questioned. The woman, and I use the term woman loosely, continued...

Totally agree Rob. My first thought was OMG What is he doing!. Shellac over wax!?, no chance, why would you even risk it. I didn't know if there was something I was missing, so I thought I'd draw...

I saw this video where the guy applies a stain to a table top, uses wax and pummice to seal the pores then applies shellac over the top?!:o

A couple of questions on this one, how on earth is the...

I will be trying Robs suggestion tomorrow and if that doesn't work for me I'll give the Intergrain ultraprep primer & sealer or the Bondall Monocel All Purpose Timber Sealer a go.

The picture above is only an example of how dark the finish is I'm looking for.

I have no issue wiping the stain on, its keeping it on and not re-dissolving the stain that's the problem. I have tried spray, roller, wiping, brushing all to varying degree's of finesse and none...

Thanks for the advice Rob, I'll give it a go!.

Just a moment...

If I want to seal in an Alcohol Dye stain, so I can use Shellac as my final finish, is there anything other than
Sanding Sealer I can use to seal the stain so it doesn't lift the stain?.

I've...

Ah I thought it was a varnish finish you used by Wattyl, my bad!.

Hey Rob, whats the Wattyl stuff you been using?.

As for the lacquer, I've found these but its expensive so I'd like to hear of any cheap places aswell.

And that's what separates mere mortals from the professionals, incredible.

I've made good use of it so far Rob, but not used it to press any thin veneers yet. The top is still totally flat and I still love the bench design. I just need to get around to making the dog holes...

How long did it take to restore Rob?.

I was thinking exactly the same thing Rob, I'd love to have a crack at it myself when my skill and tools allow. As for the Rosewood, I imagine alot of research on trade routes of the Romans and...

Has anyone been following or watching the Post Office Inquiry and scandal?.

Sorry for flooding the thread Rob, too many questions!, how old would the table be?. It looks Art-Deco?.

Agreed, colour matching to this degree is incredible.

Maybe I msised it in the post but how thick are the veneers?.

Have you got a closer photo of the piece Rob, its just spectacular how you managed to restore it and I'd love to see it up close.

This is masterful restoration Rob!.

Thanks Rob, Its still three quarters full, no skin formed but upon opening looked like the medium had separated from the thicker grey stuff. I just mixed up again and it all seemed fine.
