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.
