remembered that someone once said in this forum that i could get pre-lacqured birch ply sheets. called round my usual stockists but none of them stock them. i'm just concerned about using prelacqured panels on some glue reinforced joints, and i wanna buy 1/2 sheets to test it in my workflow...

Hi, i have one of those 3M reusable half masks (4000+ series, A1p2) , and i'm looking to buy a catridge for VOC because i'll be doing alot of solvent-based PU varnish. there's quite a few codes floating around, and i'm not too sure which one should i go for. there the ABEK1, and then there's...

yeah, i usually use fluted dowels, and it's been working fine for me, but this time, i wanna try making a miter joint with dowel reinforcement, which is something new, and is what prompted me to ask the question. because if i use fluted dowel, it's not going to look as nice... If i'm not going...

I'm just wondering why do I do that, and if that's the common way to do it. I have no idea why for a 8mm dowel, I'll drill a 7.5mm hole, then ram the dowel into it along with the glue. Because it's smaller, the glue always squirt out, and I do wonder how strong they actually are because all the...

Thanks for the tip, it's just that i'm looking at this paintmaster acrylic varnish and it's 30 quid for 5 liter, and 50 quid for 20L, which makes me think it's worth any of the hassel if other suppliers also scale in price like this. but i have yet to have anyone to say they have experience...

Hi, I'm looking to start a multi month project to make all of my home's furniture with mostly 18mm Birch PlY and am intending to seal it and have a durable (plastic-ish?) satin look. it's going to need to cover 50 full sheets of ply, double sided, probably 2 coats, so those tiny 2.5L canisters...
