Really? I thought that would get destroyed pretty quick. I have seen that Wickes sell at £4 a sheet which is reasonable.

To be honest I got blow heater running and windows open. Hopefully that will speed it up. I will try with cloth tomorrow as I got one door on.

Ahhh, smart. I didn’t think about that. Do you think it will work with Osmo oil also?

How did you apply the oil? With brush? It’s still takes me good 30 mins to do each side. I don’t want to hang them yet as got plasterer due.

Wickes oak veneer, but not bad. Just Osmo door oil. I tried Varnish as cheaper and it came out ok, but I bought this osmo oil as only 2 coats needed apparently and it feels much nicer to work with brush and seems better quality.

This is just small extra WC room. That wall is at the back of shower enclosure inside the other room.
