The best thing I have on my (ply) benches are the rubber non slip mats from the pound shop! Given the price of 18mm ply these days my next bench will be the tarmac floor!

I've played about with bona mega over painted furniture including F&B with good results. Simply because I use it (the bona) a lot on floors and often have half a litre or so leftover. I have sprayed, brushed and rolled it on various different bits lying around the workshop and it works great...

I will take 16 if still available?

Cheers Tom, I've since got some from the Internet but it was one those jobs where the client needed it done yesterday!

Thanks very much Richard, it's always good to try different recipes as jobs differ. Strangely the household ammonia seems to be the difficult one to get! Thanks again, Barry.

@Droogs thanks mate, I've never used tinted meths for that very reason! I've heard people say it doesn't make a difference but I always buy it clear anyway so no need to change! Thanks again.

mrpercysnodgrass, thank you very much for your reply. This sounds more familiar with what I was using before. I have searched the Internet for something close but couldn't find any tried, tested and regularly used without someone else saying theirs is better! As for the fairy liquid madness I...

Roughly 10 years ago I had a recipe for a reviver that worked a treat and to this day I cannot find the folder I kept it in and I can't find anything even close to it (even on here!)! I have read the threads but like my recipe I...

Aye I think I'm gonni give this one a wide berth!

Hi guys looking for a bit of advice/knowledge! I have a customer looking to have her flooring stripped and refinished. It's tigerwood and original to the house. Trouble is that she wants it to resemble an oak colour. It's a deep red just now and I don't want to price it until I can be sure I can...

Thank you very much, and your totally correct to do that too. I just prefer to try this method first just incase the colour of the ink seeps. Everyone has their own way of doing different repairs and I think the likes of this forum is a great way to learn different approaches! Thank you for...

Sorry for the above message I'm just new here and must have got excited and don't know how to delete!!😂😂 The only problem with this I find is that the second you put any ink on it it goes black as it sinks into the MDF no matter the colour. The liberon sticks are a soft wax and wont last any...
