  • Spent the past couple of weekends stripping the multiple layers of oil paints off our doors (heat gun + scraper). Almost there, just filling holes before sanding again with a finer grit, then painting. First time doing this, and it's a lot more/harder work than expected - but very rewarding.

    Top tip: don't stand doors upright when there's a breeze.
    Fortunately we were already thinking about changing the glass to plexi to be a bit safer (toddler).

  • Tempered glass might be a more suitable material as Plexiglas will scratch from being pushed on, over time this will gently fog it.

  • I have an old shower door (the type that sits on the edge of the bath and hinges out) down the side of my shed that your welcome to. Pretty sure that's tempered. Was going to smash it up and take it to the recycling centre but stopped when a couple of whacks with a 5lb lump hammer didn't break it and I didn't want to deafen the neighbours with any harder/louder blows.
