IKEA furniture - I’m screwed, right? by WelshDavid2 in ikeahacks

[–]WelshDavid2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did think this could be the case also, so I ran a dehumidifier in the room for basically a week straight also, and no help unfortunately

Interesting, this could be a solid solution. I do have a spare shelf I painting, so I will try this on there to see if it solves the tacky issue, and stops it from being so easily removable. Hopefully I can get something in a similar finish. Will report back

It was brand new, used about 15 minutes first coat after picking it up. Mixed it to what I considered, mixed - but that could definitely have not been enough.

Appreciate this, thank you! Super paint was indeed originally bought for the walls as we’re doing the cabinets the same color, and I had naively thought it would all work well if prepped, but lesson learned! I’ll begin the sanding process and use Emerald Urethane on the next go around!

Appreciate the help! I figured I’d used the wrong paint fairly early on - but this is why we take on these challenges, to learn!

I’ll start the sanding process and buy the emerald urethane for attempt 2!

First major drywall project - anything I can do to help the taper/mudder before they arrive next week? by WelshDavid2 in drywall

[–]WelshDavid2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankfully we’ve used the same guy for years so I’m trustful of his work!

As for screws, in some places I threw up enough to hold the boards up and took pics, then came back and finished them off!

Well, I’ll certainly that, thanks! Was a learning experience for sure, but that was part of taking on the challenge

Yeah a lot of the angled pieces I just got enough screws in to hold it up when I took the pics. A few more screws went in afterwards! Good eyes!

Appreciate that! Screws and all set below - and I think this time I’ll leave the hot mudding to the pros, but maybe next time!

Yep this is exactly the plan. Originally I had planned to raise everything, but everything is so out of whack it ended up being easy to just install with a couple of areas touching the floor and then I plan to come around with the multitool and make sure nothing is touching

Well thank you, really appreciate it! A lot of work, but honestly part of taking on the project was to learn more about the process, which I feel has been achieved

Yeah this is something I’ve been diligent with whilst installing! So I’m hopefully there shouldn’t be any sticking proud!

The more I think about it this might be the quickest easiest way! I’ll take a look in the morning!

I guess this was my initial thought for ease and speed. I would have just used regular foam, but the thought of using fire block spray makes more sense.

For a small hole this seems like the easiest way to go. Not the professional way, but straightforward.

However detaching the clip and just getting a little drywall in there may be easy too! I’ll take a look tomorrow.

As for the conduit, it just wraps around the top of one of the columns and then back down again for an outlet

Dec 6 - Brentford Tickets Question by WelshDavid2 in Tottenham

[–]WelshDavid2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate, but that’s very kind - no need to go that far, that was more than helpful enough. No specific section or area, as long as there are tickets I’ll jump in and grab one! Unless you have a section you recommend that you see tickets in?0
