Hi there We have had a pine staircase installed and it has had undercoat pre-applied - but we intended for it to be pre-oiled, not pre-primed for painting. Evidently some miscommunication went on! Is it too late for the undercoat to be removed and hard wax oil applied? I presume the options...

Hi everyone Recently sanded back our pine floorboards and got a beautiful look, however once we applied Osmo Polyx Raw it all went a bit wrong - it left a white sheen. Have since read you should ignore their advice and not just leave it but buff it and remove excess to avoid this happening -...

Simple one, hopefully. I’ve had to replace a couple sections of pine flooring due to a leak. I will be covering with ply and then vinyl / LVT (I’d rather have a wooden floor but half the room’s floor is concrete so I can’t…) I’ve covered with a boron treatment to protect from dry/wet rot -...

Hi, I'm putting up a freestanding patio (5 x 2.6m) with insulated roof panels on top. I've got 6 post footings at the moment but wanted to eliminate the middle 2 posts and just have 4 posts. If I'm using treated pine what size beam would span the 5m? Or is that too far? For roof load, depth is...

Hi all, I've started a DIY job at home and I already regret it! Could use your expert views. I've got Sikkens wood stained internal pine doors/architraves and the Misses now wants the architrave/door stop painted white (the doors will remain stained). The doors/architraves are about 10 years...

I put 12kg of bevelled glass in it, a long time back, and it's sagged now, also the botton horizontal has a small split along the grain which probably didn't help much in keeping it square. I would rather buy another and just transfer the glass if anyone knows where I might get one, probably...

We've sanded down our table due to it having a few marks and im stuck as to what to do next. I'm not sure what was used previous, the table felt smooth and had to be sanded down as we spilt nail Polish remover on it.The 2 benches are in perfect condition and if I can get away with just painting...

Hi, I have been researching for the past few days on this as I am newbie to this sort of area and came across this forum and decided to go for it here. Recently, we have installed 3 New Pine knotty doors. Half of the door has 2 glazed windows panels. This was brought from BQ. Now, our handyman...

Is there a trick of the trade to repair over-large and rough-edged countersunk holes? I have a lot of exposed plain pine floor-boards in my house and the woods is mostly in good condition, nicely sanded and treated with Danish oil, so it looks good. The boards are screwed down onto the joists...
