Deep joy:
I've almost finished the nastiest pair of window frames you can imagine, for the garage to replace a rotten pair, attacked by potential burglars with screwdrivers a few weeks ago. They're made in horrid pine, that's got shakes, gone warped and done all sorts of horrid things in the time it's been in my ownership (thanks B+Q - do the same for you any day!).
To make my joy complete, I now find I (idiotically) gave away my last bottle of knotting. And I need to paint up the frames ASAP.
I've got some as yet untried sanding sealer - would this be any good as a substitute?
To cap it all off, I'm sitting in the box room typing this on a laptop, as (a) I think we have mice from next door, and (b) I think they just ate through the CAT5 spine cable running across the attic & down the house.
A CAT is evidently what we need, later, meanwhile, I need to sort the window frames to make the garage tea-leaf-proof again.
So what to use for a knotting substitute? I have other things, like cellulose varnish, and polyurethane, so I'll take direction!
Cheers,
E.
PS: Daughter just passed Grade 2 flute at school. I wonder...
