  • Can someone else do this please

  • Didn’t fancy having it dipped?

    Tempted to try that with ours rather than take on another horrific stripping / sanding job.

  • I probably should have looked into that!

    I was expecting to sand the whole thing, but there is so much beading that it will be destroyed if I sand it all. I think I’m going to sand all the flat bits and then go and get some nitromors for the window surrounds and lower panels. Is there anything better than nitromors? How long will I need to leave that for?

    Plan was to get it ready for painting tomorrow. Got another four hours or so today.

  • Dipping fairly commonly causes the wood to swell and, much less commonly, can also destroy mortice and tennon joints.

    Architectural salvage places love it because they don't care if a door swells and is 6 - 7mm wider than before it was dipped. You might.
