Excellent, cheers.

I often see Americans using Scotch Brite pan scourers as a "sanding option". I tried this but the ones I used were green and some colour transferred to the wood! I then noticed that one of the Americans was talking about grey Scotch Brite which, I guess, would not be such a problem? I can't find...

I am painting some cabinet doors and always have a problem. I've done all the prep, primer, etc. I tend to paint the backs and let them dry then I paint the front and the edges. The problem is that there is always a little over-run from the edges to the back no matter how careful I am. I wipe...

Thank you. As I suspected, there are no shortcuts! :cry:
