October 2011

October has been a short month having spent two weeks in Spain, working in glorious sunshine the first week then holidaying in rain and overcast skies the second. Always the way...
However, it has been successful on the painting front. I've finally found the best roller for applying the undercoat, a 4" foam roller. You have to work fast as the U'coat soon thickens when exposed to the air. The finish hardly requires rubbing down, just a light 360 grit to remove a few spots and the sheen. It now needs another coat to get a solid white base prior to the final gloss coat. That's the challenge for next month.
